SL vs SCO, World Cup Qualifier Cricket Live: Maheesh Theekshana After Winning Player of the Match

When I batted, the wicket was a bit sloppy. We wanted to bowl stump to stump, and with our variation we knew we could get them out. The first two three balls I kept it wider, but then I kept it wicket to wicket. I think my strength is bowling with the new ball, my team is using that well. We knew we had 10 overs to bat when I walked out, so I wanted to play till the end and get that extra 20-30 runs.

SL vs SCO, World Cup Qualifier Cricket Live: Richie Berrington After Big Defeat

We were looking to utilize the early movement. Didn't manage to capitalize much. Was a fantastic effort in the last 15 overs to bowl them out under 250. We tried to be really smart with our fielding. The wicket was a little slower today. Greaves has come into the attack slightly earlier as well. But it has always depended on the situations. We were up with the rate all the way through. Disappointing that we fell so many runs short. Not our day with the bat. We will look to come back strong in the next game.

SL vs SCO, World Cup Qualifier Cricket Live: Dasun Shanaka After Big Win

All the boys are excited for the next round. These two points were very crucial. The wicket was not easy to bat on compared to the other wickets. Credit to Nissanka and Asalanka. Collapses happen. We play positive cricket. Playing positively and getting out not a problem for us. Theekshana and Hasaranga always do the job for us. DDS and myself are there to bowl for the fifth bowling option. Chameera is also injured.

Scotland will be disappointed as they let their chances slip away, succumbing to an 82-run defeat. The Lankan spinners, much like their Scottish counterparts, performed brilliantly. Hasaranga and Theekshana combined to take five crucial wickets, dismantling the Scottish middle-order. Despite a low total of 245, Sri Lanka showcased a strong comeback, winning four consecutive matches in the league stage and securing a spot in the super sixes as group toppers. This victory boosts their prospects of advancing to the main round. While Scotland can be pleased with their overall performances, the loss today will leave them disheartened.
