Clean Bowled. OUT! Bowled. Asitha Fernando to Ben White. Reverse Swing-In length ball, middle stump on the front foot driving, inside edge. A comfortable win of an innings and ten runs for Sri Lanka. Terrific yorker from Asitha Fernando, he punches the air in delight as the players shake hands and celebrate victory. Ramesh Mendis was exceptional, picking up a five-wicket haul. Ireland fought great throughout the Test Match, but Sri Lanka was too good for them. Prabath Jayasuriya is adjudged the Player of the Match, and Kusal Mendis is adjudged the Player of the Series. Cheers.
