Dasun Shanaka (Hambantota Bangla Tigers): "We are proud about the way the things have gone. We are doing well with the ball. They have done a great job upfront. Our batters have also been doing well.
See, Isuru Udana for example has played five finals in this year and will be playing his sixth tomorrow. Passing the correct message at the correct time becomes crucial and we get the support from these seniors and it makes our job easier.
