Sri Lanka v Netherlands

Super Six – Sri Lanka (213/9) beat Netherlands (192) by 21 runs

Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka captain:"It was a tough game as the score was not enough but we still managed to cross the line. We played some rash shots. We batted first in the last few games, so we knew the conditions.

[On Dhananjaya de Silva's innings]: “It was a masterclass innings, he deserved a hundred. Not many people can do that from that position. We knew we could defend that score with our bowling. ,

[On the final wicket]: Scott [Edwards] was on strike, I wanted to keep [Maheesh] Theekshana for the other batter, that's why I bowled.”

Scott Edwards, Netherlands captain:"Yes, definitely, we're disappointed. At the halfway mark, we thought they were under-par. We had a good start. Credit to them, they bowled well in that little patch there and we couldn't get over the line. We bowled well throughout the whole innings.

“Dhananjaya batted exceptionally well, he didn't give us many chances. We were disappointing with the bat. A run-out like that or a great piece of fielding can change the game. We bat deep and we should have got over the line.

“Going into the game, we knew we had guys who can bat. All the way, I was confident. There was a bit of reverse at the end there and a bit of spin. We will go back and have a look at what we could have done better. But yeah, in this whole tournament, you never know what's going to happen. We'll do what we can in the next two games."

Dhananjaya de Silva, player of the match (93 from 111 deliveries): “It was a tough match, they fought hard from the start, had a good start and I was lucky to have batted well. My idea was to bat through the 50 overs. [Maheesh] Theekshana batted really well; I was just telling him to not get out, even Wanindu [Hasaranga] batted well. I would like to bat in the middle-order and it was good to spend some time in the middle. The boys are doing well in all three departments.”
