Charith Asalanka (Sri Lanka Captain): "Yes, ofcourse. We were not up to the mark in the powerplay. At somestage, it looked like they would get to 240 but we pulled it back.
Little disappointed about the middle order including me. We batted poorly. It is an experiment but I think this is the way we should go in the future."

Suryakumar Yadav (India Captain): "Absolutely, they were playing good brand of cricket. Credit to them for the way they batted. We practiced here 3 days back so we knew how the wicket will play.
The way we played in the World Cup, reminded us that the game was still too far. (Left-right combination to be persisted?) Whatever works for the team, we'll take the call."
