“The combination we have with the left arm fast bowlers, the leg spinners – the variation we have is amazing,” Dasun Shanaka said after beating Pakistan in the ‘Super 4’ match.
Sri Lanka, however, conceded 17 extras.
Expressing concern about the extras, the Sri Lanka captain said: “I think the extras were a concern in this game, and the lines that the fast bowlers played. Those are the areas we can improve. If we could getting early wickets in the next game (final) will be good.”
