The Sri Lankan skipper Kumar Sangakkara said, “Great batting performance to start off with that. We really stuck it out there.”
On being asked why he opened the bowling with Sanath Jayasuriya, Sangakkara said: “It was probably a bad option to open the bowling with Sanath, but we always knew that once the field spread out we could always pull them back.”
Meanwhile, New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori said, “160 was gettable target, we got off to a decent start but the capitulation in the middle left us with no chance.”
The spinner applauded the Sri Lankan bowlers for their efforts and said, “They deserved to win.”
Ajantha Mendis was adjugded the Man of the Match for his magical spell of 3/9.
