Charith Asalanka (Sri Lanka Captain): "I was pretty happy with the score we got on this track. I felt 240 was good enough.
It's good to have these kind of problems. I think it was an unbelievable spell from him. When he came into the attack, they were above 90 runs.
I'm mainly a batsman to score runs for my side. But happy to bowl a few overs for my side."

Rohit Sharma (India Captain): "When you lose a game everything hurts. Its not about the death overs. We need to play consistent cricket and we failed to do that today. Disappointed but these things happen.
You gotta adapt to what's in front of you. With left-right we felt it will be slightly easier to rotate strike but it didn't happen credit to Jeffrey. Credit to Sri Lanka they played better than us and ended up on the winning side.
Not really disappointed with my dismissal. The reason I got runs was the way I batted. Risks are bound to be taken and that is how I want to bat. Whenever you get out doesn't matter the score you always feel disappointed when you don't cross the line. I don't want to compromise my intent. Its helping me and the team to a certain extent.
We do understand the nature of this surface and the nature of how the game is gonna go as well. It gets really tough in the middle overs so need to capitalize the powerplay when there are 2 fielders outside. That's what both openers were trying to do. We were not just good enough today to get 240 runs. We have played good in the past so I don't want to look too much into how we played today but there will be certainly a talk about how to bat in the middle overs."

Jeffrey Vandersay (Player of the Match): "Thank you very much. I want to grace the Lord first for this performance. There was a lot of pressure coming into the side. I was coming off a lay-off. I had to do something. It's easy to take the credit but I want to give the credit to the batters for playing the way they did and taking us to that total. It allowed me to bowl in that way.
No doubt, Wanindu Hasaranga is the number one spinner. I got to understand of the selection and the team balancing and all that. I had to keep motivating myself. If that is required to play for the nation, I will do that.
I tried to do the basics right. I had to bowl in the good lines and lengths. When I got the first wicket, it built my confidence.
(On celebration) Like I said, it's all God."
