Eoin Morgan, Man of the series: I think Sri Lanka took advantage of a very poor day on our part. It's disappointing to end the series with a loss, on this note. We were completely outplayed by them (Sri Lanka) today. There were plenty of opportunities for the players within our playing XI. There's no excuse but today we weren't good enough. We go back to dissecting how we prepare and execute our plans, our skills and we need a platform in order to learn. Having won the last three games, we need to go back and think about the same in the changing room and learn from our mistakes. The individual form doesn't matter when you're planning for the World Cup. When it comes to selecting the 15 for the World Cup, we need to see how we progress. Dinesh Chandimal: Openers put up a really good opening partnership. Finally, the hard work from everyone has paid off. The dead rubber game is never easy to play but we did really well. We are trying to improve our fielding a lot. We are a young team and we will keep improving in every game. We are looking to find consistency. Niroshan Dickwella, Man of the Match |
