Sri Lanka scored 59 runs in the last 3 overs, which was completely unexpected. We never imagined that Sri Lanka would bat so well against experienced Australian bowlers.

This surprised me as well. They batted like crap in the first matches while their bowlers performed really well, but it was the complete opposite in this particular match.

Shanaka was brilliant, but there were many useful contributions from several other players which helped them win this one. They really needed the win considering the fact that their country is reeling in economic turmoil these days.

Shanaka scored the most important runs, and from the very beginning of the innings every player have contributed little runs and this has driven Sri Lanka towards a win. Finally the win have made Australia win the series 2-1, if not this could've been a shame of losing all matches in the home ground.

I saw a great match, Sri Lankans are known for that. The Skipper Dasun Shanaka played an outstanding knock. In Pallekele, Sri Lanka's captain rides a wave of late heroics to lead his team to a thrilling victory. As Sri Lanka hit 59 in the last three overs, Dasun Shanaka leads the way as this young blood can do anything special in the future to restore the peak form to the team. They did wonders out of nowhere and avoided being whitewashed.

Similar to Shanaka I see Dilshan. He used to perform similarly in the opening order and here Shanaka have made the country cheer amidst the bad economic conditions. With this young blood the team can't make big wins for a long, combined effort is a must as yesterday's match. Everyone need to take responsibility if a player who is expected to perform well didn't do good. Once Sri Lanka was strong enough to win any team and slowly it needs to regain its position.
