Sri Lanka beat Pakistan by 22 runs and will now play against India which won against the Bangla-desh team by 103 runs.
“Definitely we like to play against India”, Suranga Wellalage, the father of Lanka’s U-19 cap-tain Dunith Wellalage said exclusively over the telephone.
“Pakistani team is good but didn’t play that well in the match. I thought the wicket was not that good to bat”, he added.
