"It's been a really good series as a team, especially after we lost the first two one-dayers really badly. I thought that gave us morale to come back strongly. That was all due to the hardwork from the players and coaching department. I'm really happy about the way we played through the series," the wicketkeeper-batsman added. Bangladesh playing at home were expected to put up competition every time they faced Sri Lanka. However, except the side's first encounter, in the tri-series last month, it was always Sri Lanka who walked away with victories in all formats of the game – and that too convincingly. When queried if the almost negligible competition from Bangladesh had surprised Team Sri Lanka, Chandimal said, "They are a really good side, especially the last couple of years. They can challenge any team - that's what I know as a player. These things happen to any team. They had a bad couple of games. That's part of cricket. I'm sure they will come back strongly going forward. We just planned to play competitive cricket, and we managed to execute that really well."Kusal Mendis is the Man of the Match and the Man of the Series. -2 fifties -123 runs -178.26 SR #ApeKollek #LionsRoar #OneTeamOneNation pic.twitter.com/6jJ1dODwRw
