Dinesh Chandimal revealed that they are looking forward to utilizing Hathurusingha’s knowledge about the Bangladeshi cricketers and the conditions ahead of the series-deciding Test in Dhaka.

"He[ Hathurusingha] has a good idea especially of the players and conditions here. It is really helpful to us to get the real advice from him. We are looking forward to getting his knowledge," he said.

According to Dinesh Chandimal Sri Lanka are trying to take out the positives from the previous Test that ended in a draw. Sri Lanka scored 713 runs for 9 wickets before declaring their 1st innings.

Chandimal stated, "After they posted 500, we made 700-plus. It was a plus point for us. It was never easy in any conditions. It is always good to have such a big score on the board, which is something positive for us.

“They are really good, especially in their home soil. They have performed well here.”

He said, "We have more experienced players in our Test side compared to ODI side. It is still challenging to us but we have some game plans according to the conditions and their players. We need to execute that well,"

Dinesh Chandimal lauded Mominul Haque for his brilliant performance in the previous game. He appreciated the batsman’s temperament. Mominul scored two centuries in the last Test.

Sri Lanka Test skipper said, "He played outstandingly in Chittagong. He has been good in Test cricket. He has a good temperament. It is not an easy thing to score two centuries in both innings. It is always special. We have something up our sleeve against him in this game. I hope the bowlers execute it in the middle."
