Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka expressed disappointment following his team’s comprehensive 10-wicket loss to India in the Asia Cup 2023 final. Sri Lanka was dismissed for just 50 runs, and India successfully chased down the target in a mere 6.1 overs.

“It was an outstanding bowling display from Siraj. I thought it’ll be a good pitch for batters, but overcast conditions played a part. Tough day for us at the office. We could’ve tightened our technique, and would’ve helped batters to settle in and free their arms later,”

“Lots of positives (Asia cup 2023). The way Sadeera and Kusal batted against spin, Also the way Asalanka batted. These three will score heavily in good batting conditions in India. We know how to bounce back from tough situations. We came into the final beating good sides. It’s a big plus,” Shaka added further.

“Players will continue good cricket from the last couple of years. I would like to thank supporters who came in numbers. Sorry about the fact we disappointed you. Still thanks for the great support. And congrats to the Indian team,” Shanaka concluded saying.
