Dasun Shanaka (Galle Gallants Captain): "[On the last 3 overs with the bat] You know we need some sort of luck as well. It was a day we where we had that luck. Credit to the batters. Sahan and Nawaz capitalised on that. At the top, Lynn got us off to a great start. Hope he will continue in the upcoming games as well. Yeah, a good game of cricket.
[On the momentum shifts in the game] I think whatever happened in the middle overs, we just wanted to stay positive. Fortune always favours the brave. It was that kind of a day for us. Not to forget that it was fantastic bowling from Tharindu and Eshan as well."

Sahan Arachchige (Player of the Match): "[on the big over] I think I had luck in that over. I tried to go for a maximum and had luck also.
[on the plan while batting] We lost wickets but I tried to take the game till the 17th over and then we needed some big overs.
[on what the target was in mind] The target was 180-85 but we had luck in our favor and achieved 193."

Bhanuka Rajapaksa (Jaffna Kings Captain): "[How did they drop so many catches?] It is a bit difficult to describe. As you said we were in the game for the first 17 overs. However, we have to learn from this game and move forward. It is a long tournament, and we shall not make these mistakes again.
[Were the batters affected by the last few overs with the ball?] I think everyone should believe in momentum. Credit should go to the batters who scored all the runs for the in the last few overs. So, when the momentum shifts towards the opposition it is difficult to gather it back. As I said before, hopefully we learn from it."
