pays glowing tributes to veterans

Jayawardene paid glowing tributes to his two most experienced
performers - Muttiah Muralitharan and Sanath Jayasuriya
- after they played crucial roles in their 158-run win
over Bangladesh on Monday.
“Murali was too hot to handle for Bangladesh and
it is good to see him among the wickets once we are
in the final now. Sanath is absolutely amazing and he
remains hungry for runs,” Jayawardene said after
the match.
The Sri Lankan skipper said that the 201-run opening
stand between Jayasuriya and Kumar Sangakkara, who also
scored hundred, had set up the big win and a place in
the final.
“We are taking every match seriously and we didn’t
let up on the pressure today as well. We are here to
win the Asia Cup and we have to keep on accelerating
our performances,” he stated.
Jayawardene said Jayasuriya had shown that he still
remained a top player after making a comeback to the
team since being dropped earlier this year from the
One-day squad.
