Sri Lankan skipper Angelo Mathews is philosophical about the latest contentious call under cricket's Decision Review System, saying a team's luck probably evened itself out.
Mathews says he can't talk too much about the DRS issue, which is something for the sport's administrators to address.
"As players we can't really worry about the DRS, because it happens for both teams," Mathews said on Monday.
"You can be lucky one day and you can be unlucky the next. It might get even."
Mathews was speaking after Sri Lanka's five-wicket defeat in the second Test against New Zealand in Hamilton, a result that gave the hosts the series 2-0.

During the tourists' second innings the previous day, top-order batsman Udara Jayasundara got a lifting ball from seamer Doug Bracewell and the Black Caps appealed for caught behind.
Umpire Paul Reiffel turned down the appeal, but was overruled by television official Richard Kettleborough.
Replays had shown no noise from Snicko, what looked like a faint smudge on a glove with Hot Spot and possibly a deviation on close-up.
Sri Lankan bowling coach Champaka Ramanayake believed there wasn't the evidence to give Jayasundara out.
Mathews said his teammate's reaction on getting back to the dressing room was that "he wasn't sure" if he had gloved the ball or not.
"After the umpire gives him out, we can't really do anything much," he said.
"It's up to the umpires to take a decision on that."
The incident is the latest in a series that has kept the spotlight on the DRS.
The most notable was television umpire Nigel Llong's decision to confirm a not out decision in favour of Australian Nathan Lyon against the Black Caps in November despite Hot Spot showing a mark on his bat.
