Every Test Like A Knockout In WTC For Sri Lanka, Says Dhananjaya De Silva
World Test Championship: Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva hailed the significance of the World Test Championship (WTC) after his side thumped Bangladesh by an innings and 78 runs at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) here to secure their first win of the current cycle. De Silva, reflecting on Sri Lanka’s position in the global competition, acknowledged that with his team playing fewer Tests than most, every match takes on the feel of a knockout encounter.
“The WTC is like other World Cups — a lot of matches are like knockouts for us,” de Silva said after the victory. “We’ve talked about how we win when we make the fewest mistakes, and we need those wins to get those extra points. In the last cycle, we made a few mistakes, and that’s what cost us. Hopefully, we can correct that this cycle.”
Sri Lanka, who are currently scheduled to play only a two-match series in this WTC cycle, relies heavily on the “percentage of points won” system that allows teams with fewer matches to remain in contention for a top-two finish. De Silva underlined how the WTC had changed the mindset of his players.
