Unka kehna tha, “Agar main waha tikta, toh hum jeet jaate. Galti meri thi.” Yeh dil se nikla afsoos unke passion aur zimmedari ko dikhaata hai, lekin saath hi unke naye career ke pressure ko bhi ujaagar karta hai.

Positives
- Liyanage ka Josh: Liyanage ne 78 run banakar dikhaaya ki woh pressure mein bhi lad sakte hain. Unki innings ne 99/4 ke score se Sri Lanka ko kareeb laaya.
- Team Spirit: Chameera ke saath unki partnership ne dikhaaya ki Sri Lanka ke paas haar na manne ka jazba hai.
- Yaadgaar Pal: Liyanage ki yeh innings unke doosre ODI mein 95 run ki yaad dilati hai, jab unhone Zimbabwe ke khilaaf aggressive khel dikhaya tha.
Negatives
- Crucial Galti: Liyanage ka out hona, jab woh 78 par the, match ka turning point tha. Unka aggressive shot selection unke naye career ka ek kamzor pehlu ho sakta hai.
- Defensive Kammi: X posts ke mutabik, Sri Lanka ne fielding mein kaafi runs diye, jo match ka fark bana.
- Consistency ki Kami: Liyanage ka yeh performance shandaar tha, lekin unka career abhi shuruaati daur mein hai, aur woh consistency ke liye joojh rahe hain.
Yeh match dikhata hai ki Sri Lanka, jo aksar underdog maani jaati hai, bade teams ke khilaaf bhi lad sakti hai. Bangladesh ki star-studded line-up ke bawajood, Sri Lanka ne unhe kareebi takkar di. Yeh dilchasp baat hai ki 2007 World Cup mein, jab Sri Lanka ne India ko haraaya tha, tab bhi unke underdog spirit ne kaam kiya tha.
Liyanage ka afsoos unki zimmedari aur seekhne ki ichha ko dikhata hai. Sri Lanka ke liye yeh haar ek sabaq hai, lekin unka jazba unhe aage le jayega. Jaise 2011 World Cup mein Malinga ne apni team ko inspire kiya tha, waise hi Liyanage jaise naye khiladi Sri Lanka ke bhavishya hain.
