Kamindu's Cameo Was Turning Point: SL Skipper Shanaka After T20 World Cup Win

• Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka hailed Kamindu Mendis' 19-ball 44 as the turning point in their 20-run T20 World Cup win over Ireland.
• Shanaka noted Kamindu batted with ease, making it seem like he was on a different surface, lifting the team to 163 for six.
• Leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, who took three wickets, was dealing with a minor hamstring issue, but it's not serious.
• Player of the match Kamindu Mendis believed 160 runs would be enough to defend, crediting bowlers Maheesh Theekshana and Dushmantha Chameera.
• Ireland skipper Paul Stirling lamented conceding 15-20 too many runs and admitted his team's lack of experience showed.
