When I went out to bat at 60/5, Bhanuka and me planned to get to 150 – Wanindu Hasaranga
During the post-match presentation ceremony, Wanindu Hasaranga talked about his conversation with Bhanuka Rajapaksa after he came out to bat following the 5th dismissal of Sri Lanka in the final. He said:
“When I went out to bat at 60/5, Bhanuka and me planned to get to 150, which was a good total. I told him that I would play my role and play my shots.”
Wanindu Hasaranga further said that he absolutely loves bowling in the subcontinent. He elaborated:
“In the first few overs, the ball swung, but when I batted, the wicket was really good. I love to bowl in the subcontinent. I look to bowl at the stumps in these conditions and that is why I am successful. I try to bowl tight and bowl dot balls. Our boys did a great job throughout the tournament, especially after our loss against Afghanistan.”
