Chamari Athapaththu receives the trophy and her teammates join in for the photographs. They pose with the trophy along with the support staff.
Chamari Athapaththu (Sri Lanka Women Skipper): "I would like to thank Sri Lanka cricket, the groundstaff and the spectators. They have shown lot of support for the game. I'm really happy about my team performance and individually I am happy about my performance and I can mention Harshitha Madavi. She is an upcoming cricketer and Kavisha Dilhari, she is playing good cricket. So these are the positive things we will carry on from the series. The seniors like Inoka and all supported a lot for me to win the series."
Nigar Sultana (Bangladesh Women Skipper): "Disappointed with how we ended the series. We started brilliantly but failed to close out the series. We will take positives from this series. We didn't play good cricket today. We gave too many runs in the last three overs and it cost us the game. The hospitality has been very good and I loved my time here in Sri Lanka."

04:17 PM IST: Time for the post-match presentation.
04:08 PM IST: There it is. Sri Lanka Women beat Bangladesh Women by 44 runs to win the third T20I and seal the series with a 2-1 margin. After losing the first game, the hosts bounced back brilliantly and won the next two games convincingly to win the series. All smiles in the Lankan camp as they complete a dominant performance in the decider today.
Bangladesh Women didn’t have the best of starts to the chase of 159 as they lost Rubya Haider on a duck in the second over. Fargana Hoque along with Sobhana Mostary tried to resurrect the innings but the former was dismissed on 10. Mostary looked good at the crease and hit two boundaries and as many sixes before departing on 30.
The hosts bowled beautifully in the middle overs and Bangladesh Women kept falling behind the required run rate. Sri Lanka Women kept picking wickets at regular intervals and didn’t allow Bangladesh Women to get away. Nigar Sultana top-scored with 31 for the visitors but it wasn’t enough as they finished their innings on 114/7 to lose the game by 44 runs. Udeshika Prabodhani, Kawya Kavindi and Inoka Ranaweera picked up two wickets apiece for Sri Lanka.
Chamari Athapaththu won the toss and had no hesitation in batting first. Vishmi Gunaratne (2) fell early and Athapaththu along with Harshitha Madavi started the recovery work. Athapaththu came out all guns blazing and scored 32 off 23 balls before departing in the seventh over. Anushka Sanjeewani was dismissed on four. Nilakshi de Silva joined Madavi and started building a partnership for the hosts.
Madavi and de Silva kept finding boundaries at regular intervals and kept Bangladesh Women at bay. Both played very good shots as they pounced on anything loose. Madavi brought up her fifty and de Silva teed off in the end. She brought up her maiden T20I fifty and hit 24 runs in the final over against Jahanara Alam to power her side to 158/3 at the end of their 20 overs. Madavi (51*) and de Silva (63*) put up a solid 102-run stand for the third wicket to help their side post a competitive total on the board. Their bowlers then bowled beautifully to defend it successfully.
Stick around for the presentations.

19.6 U Prabodhani to F Khatun
4 FOUR RUNS!! Full and outside the off stump. Khatun dances down the track and lofts this over mid off. Fielder at long off runs across, puts a dive but it is not enough. End of the game as Sri Lanka clinch this contest by 44 runs.

19.3 U Prabodhani to R Khan
1 Good length outside the off stump, Rabeya punches off the backfoot to deep cover for a run to get off the mark.
Umpire Review for Stumping. Fair delivery to start. The ball clipped the off stump and the bails are dislodged. The keeper's gloves are well behind the stumps. The third umpire is ready with the decision and OUT it is.
19.2 U Prabodhani to N Akter
W The umpires convene as to confirm whether this is bowled or a stumping chance. TV umpire will check this. A flighted and drifting delivery around the off stump.
