Sri Lanka vs West Indies, 3rd T20I

Pathum Nissanka, Player of the Series:
He had a plan going in. The powerplays were vital. It is about keeping a clear head while playing 3 formats.

Kusal Mendis, Player of the Match:
I played really well. Nissanka played well in the first six overs. I could plan better. Little bit slow wicket. I knew how to play in these conditions. We tried to play normal cricket in the first 6 overs. It is hard to play the spinners on this deck.

To be honest, we had enough runs. We would have taken 160 on a turning wicket at the start of the game. If we would have controlled the powerplay better, we could have made a come back. SL spinners completely outbowled our spinners. I think it is a lot of positives. My guys gave good efforts in these conditions. Our batters did well. Thanks to the people of Sri Lanka. They have been very good to us. They have been very welcoming.

Charith Asalanka:
Top-order batted really well. Thus, team performed really well. Throughout the series, I am talking about India series also. We have played well. We needed some momentum and we got the momentum in the second game of the series. I wasn't worried much. I thought our top-order batted well. Nissanka and Mendis made a plan and it worked.

SL spinners completely outbowled our spinners.

As a batting group, our guys showed we can play against spin.
