Chamari Athapaththu (Sri Lanka Women Captain): "[Thoughts after the win?] Actually, as a bowling unit, we done really good. We dropped a couple of catches but we done really good. The way the batters batted, it was amazing to see. To see the young batters batting, it was great.
[On the partnership between Harshitha and Kavisha] The way Kavisha and Harshitha batted, it was great. They absorbed the pressure. Under pressure, that was a match-winning partnership.
[Happy with how the youngsters are playing?] Definitely. We have good match-winners. Harshitha, Vishmi, Kavisha and Imesha. Most of the players are playing well. We have good players. If we can execute our plans in the final, I think we can beat any team."

Fatima Sana (Pakistan Women captain and Player of the Match): "(Her thoughts on the result) I think the way Harshitha and Kavisha played... We know that they are good with the singles. They took the match away from us. Credit to them.
(Was 130 a good score?) Yes, definitely. A little bit of collapse (in the batting and lapses in the) fielding towards the end. That cost us.
(On what needs to improve?) We need improvement in the batting side. Hopefully, next time we will come with a better batting side.
