That's all from this contest, folks! Deepak Prakash here signing off on behalf of scorer/analyst Bishal Mandal. CHEERS!
Charith Asalanka (Jaffna Kings Captain): "We were aiming for 180-190 due to the fast outfield. These pitches are great for improving our cricket, and this is what we need as a country. I think we need to show some more energy on the field and other than that I am not worrying about anything."
Mohammad Nabi (Dambulla Sixers Captain): "It's been a tough tournament for us. Once again we made some mistakes with the ball and should have kept them to around 180. That 32-run over cost us the game. We'll learn from our mistakes and come back stronger."
Pathum Nissanka (Player of the Match): "The surface was good, and I got great support from Avishka. I wanted to score a hundred, but I'll always prioritize the team's win."
PLAYER OF THE MATCH: Pathum Nissanka
