President Mahinda Rajapaksa congratulated the Sri Lanka team which
emerged Asia Cup champions by beating Pakistan by five wickets in the
final played in Dhaka yesterday.
The President personally telephoned the Sri Lanka team in the
Bangladesh capital, immediately after the final match last night. He
congratulated Angelo Mathews and his boys after their convincing
five-wicket wicket win over defending champions Pakistan in the
flood-lit final.
“Congratulations on your great victory, you have once again made Sri
Lanka proud. All Sri Lankans join me in extending the warmest greetings
to the members of our national team. We wish you similar success at the
T20 World Cup tournament as well,” he told the Sri Lanka captain. |
