India skipper Virat Kohli said the dew on the ground was “way beyond our expectations” but credited his bowlers for taking their Asia Cup 2014 match against Sri Lanka into the last over, here today.
Sri Lanka chased down the 265-run target set by India in 49.2 overs, courtesy a marvellous century by experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Kumar Sangakkara.
“I think the bowlers did a good job, there was a lot of dew in the end. We didn’t expect so much dew because there wasn’t so much of it yesterday. But credit to them [bowlers] to take it to the last over,” Kohli said at the presentation ceremony.
While praising all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja for tilting the match in India’s favour with two quick strikes, Kohli said his batsman could have added 25-odd runs to the eventual total had they batted more smartly.
