Silva said, “We had one hand in one place in the final, but we felt some brain faded in the moments of crunch.” “We have learned our lessons. A strong house lays the foundation of success on the road.”The Sri Lankan squad has six unkapped players, with at least one set to set.

Experienced players without Bangladesh face the challenge without Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan. “Tamim and Shakib -they have large -scale shoes to fill,” said Captain Najmul Hussain Shanto. “But this is a chance for young people to keep their hands up.”Creating his first appearance in Galle, Shanto expressed confidence in the preparation of his team. “We are well prepared and we are ready for the challenge,” he said.
