Quote
Kusal Perera (Man of the match) - "Yeah of course it was one of the better innings I have played, after losing 1st game this one was important for us. We wanted to take few risks in the first 10 overs and it came off. We didn't plan to much, just were looking to stay positive. I don't want to put much pressure on myself. I will look to do my basics. I am aware of that record(scoring fifty of just 17 balls)."
