    T20 WC: ‘We Could Have Done Better With The Ball, But No Excuses,’ Says Shanaka After SL’s Defeat To Zimbabwe

    T20 World Cup: Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka admitted his side fell short in key moments despite posting a competitive total, conceding that execution with the ball and decision-making in crucial phases ultimately cost them in their Group B clash in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Thursday.

    Reflecting on Sri Lanka’s batting effort, Shanaka expressed satisfaction with the foundation laid by the top order but acknowledged there was room for improvement.

    “We had a pretty good start, and to be honest, I think the score we put on was good enough to defend. There were a few patches (of the match) where we could have done slightly better, but overall, I’ll take that score today. I’m really happy with the way Pathum (Nissanka) and Pawan (Ratnayake) played. I think it was a good total on this pitch,” Shanaka said after the match.
