Asia Cup: Jayasuriya Rues Missed Chances After Sri Lanka Stumble Again In Super Over Against India
Asia Cup Super Fours: Sri Lanka head coach Sanath Jayasuriya admitted his disbelief after his side once again squandered a winning position against India, this time in their Asia Cup Super Fours clash in Dubai on Friday.
The defeat, eerily reminiscent of last year’s collapse in Pallekele, saw Sri Lanka fall short in a Super Over despite centurion Pathum Nissanka’s heroics.
“I would've preferred to finish games in normal time,” Jayasuriya said at the post-match press conference. “No captain or coach wants to go to a Super Over. Unfortunately, Dasun missed completing the third run. But no, there's no mental block against India. Our batting line-up is strong, and we've given them confidence. Chasing 200 (203) is never easy, but we almost did it, which shows the quality we have.”
