Nissanka: Sri Lanka will learn from mistakes

AFP reported that Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka said the team will learn from their mistakes after going down to Australia in the World Cup and strive to win the remaining matches.

A five-wicket loss at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium made Sri Lanka slip to their third successive defeat in the round-robin tournament, where each team will play nine league matches.

Nissanka and fellow opener Kusal Perera put on 125 runs before the batting, which posted totals of over 325 in the previous matches, imploded to 209 all out in 43.3 overs.

“That’s the nature of cricket. We performed admirably in the previous two games, but such fluctuations can occur,” Nissanka said.

“Our focus now is to learn from our mistakes and strive for strong performances in the upcoming matches.”
