Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka said after the defeat, "Absolutely, it was a tough one. I think the intent just wasn’t there from the beginning. Credit to the Zimbabwean bowlers, they bowled really well with the right lines and good variation. I feel that if we had shown a bit more intent up top without being reckless, we could’ve done much better. Very disappointing."
