Dhananjaya de Silva (Sri Lanka Captain)- "Happy for myself as I've contributed to the team's victory. The wicket had something for the fast bowlers so I discussed Kamindu about playing the balls late and that has paid off. I wanted to shift the gears once we get the scoreboards moving and I did that. Kasun is a very fine bowler and he kept hitting the right areas as there was not much help from the pitch in the fourth innings. Presently, I have no idea about the Chattogram pitch We will go there and see what it is."
Player of the Match - Dhananjaya de Silva
Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh Captain): "The way the seam bowlers started the match for us, Iām really proud of them. But we have to improve our batting with the new ball and will look to come stronger in the next match. He(Mominul) was exceptional in the second innings, he showed his experience and I hope he continues his form in the next game as well."
