Thisara Perera (Jaffna Kings Skipper):"There are no words to describe how delighted I am. We resemble a family more than a team. The key to our success is that. I advise my lads to treat their families as a unit. I must thank my owner because he granted me the authority to choose this team. I also like to thank the workers here. We've done very well, having won three in a row, so this year I was pretty sure we'd hoist the trophy."
The Jaffna Kings will now get the winning medal.
Angelo Mathews (Colombo Stars Skipper): "I think first of all congratulations To Jaffna. They outplayed us. Shout out to the boys and they tasked it out and demanding schedule. So, kudos to all. A bit of both. 164 was a good score and I think we had injuries and Sadeera and Avishka outplayed us. They deserved the win. Yes, amazing tournament. The Sri Lankans will benefit from here, especially the youngsters. Yes, always give my 100% and run around spreading energy. Thank You to the fans for their energy and support throughout the tournament."
The Colombo Stars will now get the runners-up medal.
Sadeera Samarawickrama (Player of the Tournament):"I'm very glad we won it a third time. I've been working a lot, and I'm happy to see the results. Gurbaz gave me his gloves, therefore I'd want to thank him. Just after the two games this season, I backed myself. I would like to achieve well for my country today whenever I have the chance."
Player of the Tournament goes to Sadeera Samarickwarama.
