T20 WC: ‘Very Disappointing, Expected My Players To Bat Well,’ Says Shanaka After SL’s 51-run Super 8s Loss To ENG
T20 WC: Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka did not shy away from admitting his side’s batting failure after they were bowled out for just 95 and suffered a 51-run defeat to England, despite a disciplined bowling effort that had earlier kept the opposition to a modest total.
Reflecting on the contest, Shanaka expressed disappointment at how Sri Lanka let a strong bowling performance go to waste with a rash and ill-judged batting display.
“It's very disappointing, but at the same time, we had a lot of positives in the ball. So I think we kept them towards a total which was at least 20 runs under par. I expected my players to bat well,” Shanaka said after the game, summarising the factors behind the low-scoring outcome.
