Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka stated that the failure to properly execute plans was the primary reason for the defeat in the first T20 match against England.
He made these remarks while speaking to the media following yesterday’s match.
Notably, there were no sponsors for the Sri Lankan team during this match.
It is significant that the Sri Lankan team, chasing a victory target of 255 runs set by England, was restricted to 135 runs in 19 overs.
A striking feature of the innings was that 61 of the 19 overs faced by the Sri Lankan team were dot balls (balls yielding no runs).
