"This is my career's best match. Very good wicket to bat, ball came on well.
"The hat-trick unfortunately went away, but before that Mahela took a brilliant catch, so the second wicket really went to him. I think everyone's performing very well, so we are in a good position," Dilshan said after getting Man-of-the-Match award.
