I advise my lads to treat their families as a unit. I must thank my owner because he granted me the authority to choose this team. I also like to thank the workers here. We've done very well, having won three in a row, so this year I was pretty sure we'd hoist the trophy."

Angelo Mathews (Colombo Stars Skipper): "I think first of all congratulations To Jaffna. They outplayed us. Shout out to the boys and they tasked it out and demanding schedule. So, kudos to all. A bit of both. 164 was a good score and I think we had injuries and Sadeera and Avishka outplayed us. They deserved the win. Yes, amazing tournament. The Sri Lankans will benefit from here, especially the youngsters. Yes, always give my 100% and run around spreading energy. Thank You to the fans for their energy and support throughout the tournament."
