Chamari Athapaththu (Player of the match): "I am feeling good and also I am very happy about my performance and the team's performance. Vishmi was very good and our bowling department did their best. We planned to score runs in the powerplay and after the powerplay we tried to play the doubles and singles. This was a very good win for Sri Lanka cricket. We have to stick with the plans for the next game."
