In the meanwhile, the 35-year-old cited that they should have grabbed the chances to put pressure on the Men in Green.

added.

“South Africa is one of the best teams in the world so we have to sit down, try to address our mistakes and I am confident that all the young players will do the job well,” Dilshan shared.
