Match Discussion
Piyush Shah: "India had no business winning this.. but they did!"
nc: "The current SL team reminds me of the Indian cricket team of the 80s and the 90s. Batting collapses like the one by SL has had in this series were quite frequent especially against quality teams. But look where India is today. So don't lose heart SL. Things can only go up from here. "
Afaq: ""..who breaks into a smile." Looks like Dravid's message fulfilled its purpose."

Washington, Player of the Match: "I guess all the work I did and a lot of blessings from god helped me. I just wanted to try and stay calm and focus on what I needed to do. Grateful to Surya to throw the ball to come in that kind of a situation. Very grateful to have gotten an opportunity in this game. I just need to do what I need to do. We did a bit of homework against their batsmen and there was some purchase in the wicket and I just sort of had to hit the right length."
Asalanka, SL captain: "Definitely, really disappointed, especially the middle order and lower-middle order. Very bad shot selection. The thinking was spinners were bowling and that's why Hasaranga came up the order and we gave him the license to hit one or two boundaries. I think especially we played some wrong shots and when the ball gets old, the shot selection has to be spot on. We can't give excuses and we have to do more than this. I want to see good batting performance in ODIs and I think the boys will do better."
SKY, Player of the Series and winning captain: "I think more than the last over, when we were 30 for 4 and 48 for 5, the way we showed character [with the bat]. 140 was a par score on this track. I told them I've seen such kinds of games and I told the boys if you put your heart into it, you can pull it off. The amount of skill they have and self-confidence they have - it makes my job easy. The care for each other they show is unbelievable. They made my job easy and when I go into bat, I have little pressure and I just express myself. I don't want to be the captain. I want to be the leader."
