Law said he wants his boys to continue with the momentum and get the better of Sri Lanka.

“It’s very important for us as a group after all the hard work we have put in for this tournament. We didn’t have a great preparation time but it has been intense. To win against India,the current world champions,is a feather in our cap.

However,we’ve still got a very important game and if we don’t win that game [against Sri Lanka,the win the other night won’t matter,” Law said.

“I’m just trying to tell the boys,’Yesterday was fantastic but it means nothing; we’ve got to win the game against Sri Lanka and get to the final’. After the Asia Cup,we can celebrate and look back at fond memories,” Law was quoted as saying by local media.
