During the mid-innings break, Indian bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar reflected on India's bowling in the death overs, and their inability to restrcit the side on a lower total, but was happy with the 240 score.
"Coming to Sri Lanka there is always bounce. Last game and today there was purchase in form of deviation. Today's pitch is slower, we have done a decent job. 240 is good to chase. It is something we have bowled really well to defend. From 140/6 it could have been better if we had given 20 runs lesser but we will take 240 anyday. Looking ahead to contribute to the team's success with the bat as well," said Sundar.
