Rajesh Pothukuchi: Asalanka seems incapable of playing with the tail! Noticed it almost twice in a span of 3 weeks, once with Pakistan during the Asia Cup and today as well. Very disappointing from someone who plays at 5 or 6 in white ball cricket!

Jay: Asalanka has given strike to tail-enders by taking singles within first two balls of the over and wickets have fallen in the over. He should keep strike as still many overs are there.
