Mahela Jayawardene: "I thought [the Latif 'catch'] landed on my fingers, it hurt a lot, but the umpires thought otherwise. It was played in the right spirit. It is a challenging wicket, we did not assess it well when we batted, we thought 160, but 140-150 was a good score. The fielding was absolutely brilliant, all the bowlers did well."
Mohammad Hafeez: "We had our moments but we couldn't capitalise on them. Perera made the difference, we were looking not to give away too many runs. I feel we have to work and come hard in the next game. Tanvir was brilliant and the spinners did the job. We shouldn't get too disheartened as it is only one loss."
Thisara Perera is the Man of the Match. Perera: "This is my first match after injury. I really enjoyed today."
Sid Monga is updating his match report. Read
They bowled 17 wides but they have still defended 132 by 37 runs. That is a very comprehensive margin. And they were 89 for 7 at one stage before Perera blasted them to 132. Pakistan lost two wickets off the first two balls, and never recovered.
Ben: "The difference is: SL recovered from Tanvir's 3 in 3 overs but Pak never recovered from 2 in 2 balls..."
bhaskar: "So they dont need misbah? in reference to an earlier comment, its better to sleep than die i'd say. Misbah lends much needed solidity to this side."
