Dasun Shanaka (Sri Lanka Captain): We have to admit that the wicket was too good. Got the start we needed but in the middle phase, we couldn't capitalise. The other day Asalanka took us home. Likewise, the batter who gets set needs to continue till 15-16 overs. That's an area we have to be concerned about. Felt we were 25-30 runs short. We know how Finch and Warner are in the world cricket. Need to bowl well and contain them in the powerplay. Couldn't do that. We know the Sharjah wicket, have played two games there. Should come well in that game.
