Recently, the selection committee headed by Upul Tharanga has included Mathews in the plans for the upcoming T20 World Cup. If you take decisions driven by agenda then… “I batted and bowled well in the last two Lankan Premier League (LPL) seasons, but unfortunately I was not selected for the T20 World Cup and I was not even told the reason,” Mathews was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. If you take decisions driven by agenda, things like this can happen. We couldn’t even qualify for the Champions Trophy. Angelo Mathews further said, but I believe one thing that if you practice and play with all your heart, then you can create an environment for yourself where you can perform. Target achieved by losing 7 wickets Talking about the match, in the match played at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Zimbabwe, batting first, scored 143 runs at the loss of 5 wickets in 20 overs.
