Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka Masters Captain): "Good evening. It was a good performance, we were a little loose with the ball but the conditions are such. I think Upul, Thiri and all our batters played really well.
In the middle, you hit your gaps and the sixes will be hit, it's about staying in the middle. Not much changed since the first game, we should have put that game away as well against India, the rule of the game says we need to restrict the opponent under 200 bowling first and score above 200 batting first."

Upul Tharanga (POTM) : " I think there was dew on the ground so we were confident of the chase. The ball came good on the bat. We needed a good start. The Aussie didn't score much in powerplay. We wanted to plan the chase and bat like for 10-12 overs."

Shane Watson (Australia Masters Captain): "There have been some high-scoring games in IML, and it is a testament to the surface and conditions we are playing in. At certain times, we just need to bowl better, you cannot take the credit away from the Lankan batters. We are looking at world class players on some good wickets. Defensive bowling needs to improve.
We were a bit rusty in the field but the more we get into this tournament, the standard should improve. We are batting incredibly well, we are bowling nicely but the batters are getting on top. We need to get better and adapt to the conditions but we will ready to go against India, which will be a big game."
