Man of The Match: Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka)
Man of The Series: Virat Kohli (India)
This is the second chgnae of venue, Sri Lanka was only a reserve location in the first place, and it was switched there in January from Pakistan due to a variety of concerns. You’re right in that it’s hard to see what they know now that they don’t know then, although the security situation in Sri Lanka itself has been getting worse this year too.
