Lasith Malinga a legend: Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne in awe of England slayer

India Today  

Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne cut a delighted figure as he interacted with the press after their upset win over hosts England at Headingley in Leeds on Friday. Malinga, as Karunaratne acknowledges, did exactly that as he led the Sri Lankan bowling charge from the front, picking up four wickets in a match-winning spell on a sluggish wicket at Headingley. So too did Dhananjaya, they both did a really good job and turned the game, those are the sort of performances," the Sri Lanka captain added. Karunaratne said Mathews assessed the Headingley pitch quite well and helped Sri Lanka reassess their plans in the middle of their batting innings.
