Inoka Ranaweera: "Really happy with the performance but I want to share the award with Achini Kulasuriya. We were missing few big names when we started the tournament but we are a good unit and it feels good to be in the final."
Inoka Ranaweera is the player of the match for her bowling figures of 2/17.
Chamari Athapaththu (Sri Lanka Captain): "We have experienced bowlers and everyone bowled well. I backed them to defend the total. We changed our batting order with Anushka opening the batting. Some things worked and some did not but end of the day we won that is important. After 14 years we have qualified for the Asia cup final which is really good for the team and for our nation. After 6 overs it wasn't easy for them to hit the boundaries so we stuck to our plans using Inoka in the middle overs. Kavisha plays really good cricket and handles the pressure well. She dropped the catch but the run out was good."
Bismah Maroof (Pakistan Captain): "It was a very good match with both teams playing good cricket. Everyone enjoyed watching the match. It was a good wicket, we had control in the middle and came very close but couldn't finish over the line. We didn't back ourself well and their bowlers bowled really well at the fag end. It was really clinical performance from all the players. I am really proud of the group the way we have made a comeback."
Sri Lanka seal the win by the barest of margins on the last ball of the second semifinal to seal a spot in the finals against India! Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first. Nida Dar and Nashra Sandhu provided early breakthroughs for Pakistan as they picked up a couple of wickets in the powerplay.

DRAMA! DRAMA HERE AT SYLHET!
19.6 A Kulasuriya to N Dar
1W RUN-OUT!! A lot of drama in the last ball and Sri Lanka-W clears their way to the final. Full toss delivery, on the woods. Nida smashes it over the infield but doesn't get the middle of the bat. The fielder at the short cover who dives to her left to take it but misses it and collects the ball quickly and throws it to the keeper. Sanjeewani is behind the stumps and whips the bails off in a flash. Nida Dar finds shorts of her ground at the striker's end. What a great performance by Sri Lanka-W as they won this semi-final by just one run.
The keeper is under pressure! Should have hit the stumps! Big opportunity missed.
19.5 A Kulasuriya to A Riaz
1b Byes Again! Yorker delivery, follows the batter on the leg side. Riaz again tries to swing it through the leg side but misses it and the pair sneak a byes. There is a big opportunity to Run-Out but the keeper misses it.
4 from 2, 3 for super over!
19.4 A Kulasuriya to N Dar
1 Fuller delivery a tad outside off, Nida punches it in the gap towards the cover region for a run.
19.3 A Kulasuriya to N Dar
2 Fuller delivery, outside off. Nida smashes it uppishly over the infield toward the deep cover region and takes a couple of runs.
19.2 A Kulasuriya to A Riaz
1b BYES! Yorker delivery, follow the batter on the leg side. Riaz fails to get any bat on that and misses it. The keeper behind the stumps fumbles to collect and the pair sneak a byes single.
8 off the final 5 balls and Nida Dar is off strike! We are in for a screamer of a final over! Sri Lanka can't have the fourth fielder outside the circle due to slow over rate.
19.1 A Kulasuriya to N Dar
1 Fuller delivery, a tad outside off. Nida drills that one to the long-off region for a single.
