Chamari Athapaththu (Sri Lanka Women Captain): "I am feeling happy. Happy with the team's performance. Special shoutout to youngsters, Harshitha and Kavisha. Definitely this is not a one man show. The support staff and team need to work together.
Finally we have won the Asia Cup. Special thanks to Sri Lankan cricket board. I am really to see so many people come to the stadium and support us. I think this win will inspire the young girls for the future.
I am enjoying cricket. This is my duty to lead from the front and I am enjoying this role. We talk about positives in the dressing room and no one talks about the negatives.
Next target is World Cup but we have to focus on one game at a time. Yeah, I hope so till next 50-over World Cup, I would like to continue playing for Sri Lanka."
