3rd ODI: Team Did Well Throughout The Series, Says SL Skipper Asalanka After 2-0 Win Over India
Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka did not start the three-match ODI series against India as favourites, especially after losing the T20I series to the same opposition 3-0. But riding on the back of a fine performance by their spinners, as well as crucial runs from lower-order and some top-order batters, Sri Lanka pulled off a 2-0 ODI series win.
After holding India to a thrilling tie in the series opener, Sri Lanka registered two comprehensive wins to register their first bilateral ODI series win over the visitors since August 1997. A jubilant Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka felt the team got the reward of doing all things right in the series, led by spinners taking 27 Indian wickets.
"I'm a happy captain right now, and I think the team did all the things well throughout the series. We all knew they are a very strong batting line-up and we just wanted to back our strength, which is spin bowling.”
