Presentation
Upul Tharanga, Man of the Match
"It's been a good season for one. I came back to the side after 18 months. I wasn't under much pressure, Sanga and others told me you are playing all games so I haven't been under pressure."
Kumar Sangakkara "Lucky with the toss, enjoyed ourselves, especially the bowling effort. The wicket was a little slow to start off with, so it helped us. Mahela did a fantastic job today, he has done great jobs in the past."
Shakib Al Hasan "We should have scored at least 30 more runs. We had a very good foundation, but we lost too many wickets in the Powerplay. Hopefully we'll do better next time."
So a facile win for Sri Lanka. It was always going to be the case when Bangladesh lost their way in the middle overs. Hang on for the presentation
