Contribution of Dinesh Chandimal
- At the time Dinesh Chandimal walked out to bat, the score was 11-1. The opening stand was not good, and it was up to him to give a good performance and take the team to a good total.
- Chandimal played with a strike rate of just above 100, and he kept on rotating the strike for a healthy partnership. However, he kept on falling short of partners.
- Because of this, nobody was able to give good support to Chandimal, he was not able to play with a better strike rate.
- It took him 46 balls to make the contribution of 50 runs. Even though he got 6 fours, still his strike rate was not the best, because of the dot balls he played.
- Angelo Mathews supported him for a while, but this was certainly not enough for the team.
- At the time Chandimal got out, the score of the team was only 120-8, and it was certain that they would not be able to win.
Dhananhaya de Silva was certainly the best bowler for his team. As a captain, he led from the front, by taking 4 wickets. At the same time he maintained a phenomenal economy of 3 runs per over. For his brilliant contribution, he even won the Player of the Match award.
