ODI 2024: bangladesh cricket Kusal Mendis wins maiden series for Sri Lanka
bangladesh cricket Sri Lanka once again sealed the home series, this time with the help of ODIs. We'll be back on Tuesday to see how Sri Lanka's bench strength stacks up against New Zealand, who will be desperate to avoid being bullied. Goodbye then, goodbye now!
(About the injury) I think it’s healed now. It is very difficult to hit the ball with a new ball. Patten got off to a great start and his 28 points were very important. I had to take some chances and Dunis and Mahesh were batting really well and supported me. There was more spin in the second half and the reveal came too late. I love playing in these conditions. It was a bit difficult to play due to my injury and I wasn't able to play in any doubles matches.
This is the most satisfying for me, in the previous games I had the chance to be the hero, but today I did it. Special thanks to Kusal Mendis for his excellent knocking. They knew they had to take wickets, so they gave him a single and tried to get me out. I bowled the ball, hit the boundary on the bad ball and took the runs that were offered. The wicket was really good and we thought the rain made the wicket even better. The ball started spinning and we thought if we don't give them wickets, the dew will come and make things difficult for them. I play in tough situations, whether it's on the power play or in the death overs. We have a good bench, we have experienced young players and you need to perform well against so much competition. The World Cup in India (2023) was a shame for us but we are starting to win now and the environment around the team is very positive.
- This is also Sri Lanka's tenth consecutive loss to India since July 2021
Remaining unbeaten in bilateral ODI series. over the years. The points are Sri Lanka's highest score for eight wickets or less at home against New Zealand.
