A welcome win for us.Mathews was just brilliant!
deathrevenge9 added 2 Minutes and 6 Seconds later...
WTH was Malinga the MOTM? Mathews deserved for his all-round performance.

WTH was Malinga the MOTM? Mathews deserved for his all-round performance.
pollard also batted equally well.but,in the end it was a bowlers day.
And in a T20,batsmen commonly score runs,but a bowler with such impressive figures is really amazing.
