It resulted in a big wicket as Sri Lanka's captain Charith Asalanka was dismissed for a five-ball duck. The skipper looked to take the attack to the opposition on a good batting surface after a great start. However, it wasn't his day and he had to go back to the pavilion.
Both batters formed a solid partnership of 87 runs to take Sri Lanka to a comfortable position. While Kusal was more aggressive and looked to take on the bowlers, Kamindu looked to take his time before cashing in on the opportunity.
