Following a triumphant return to T20Is, Sri Lankan all-rounder Angelo Mathews took a potshot at the previous set of selectors, headed by Pramodya Wickramasinghe, for taking "agenda-driven" decisions that pushed him out of the white-ball cricket set-up. An all-round performance by a returning Angelo Mathews helped Sri Lanka snatch a three-wicket win from the jaws of defeat against Zimbabwe in the first T20I of the three-match series in Colombo on Sunday night. He not only scored an unbeaten 46* to guide Lanka out of troubled waters during their 144-run chase, lifting them from 83/6, but also took the new ball and gave away 13 runs in two overs.
