Sri Lanka were bowled out for 50 after India pacer Mohammed Siraj grabbed six for 21, and the visitors romped to a 10-wicket win in Colombo on Sunday.
“We played very good cricket to get to the final. I think we have to regroup and put some confidence into the players.
“You know sometimes a bit of a kick to the rear end is not the worst thing before going into a big tournament,” said Silverwood during the post-match press meet.
