It was a tricky run chase for the the last year runners-up Sri Lanka who were beaten yesterday by India, but Dumindu – a well established first class cricketer – showed his experience in batting through the innings taking his team over the line.
Sri Lanka reached the target with 6 wickets and ten balls to spare with Pasindu Lakshanka also making a valuable 30.
Sri Lanka have two wins out of the three games they’ve played so far, and are in good stead to finish in the top three positions.
