That brings an end to our coverage of this series. It was pleasure bringing you all the updates from this final T20I today. Keep joining us for more cricketing action all around the globe. For now, this is me, Akshay Bhide, signing off, along with scorer Paras Yadav and statistician Aman. Bye bye.
Sri Lankan skipper Charith Asalanka collects the trophy and poses with his teammates behind the Winners board. The Lankans are the deserving winners as they end the multi-format series on a high.
Charith Asalanka (Sri Lanka Captain): “We achieved more than 190. It’s not easy once we got that defeat yesterday. It is very hard to come back like this.
Pitch looked really well in the powerplay. We just keep saying that minimize boundaries and keep them under 200.
Really impressed with that performance from Mishara and Kusal Janith. Not easy to score 10-11 runs per over.
That’s what I said. It’s about showing characters. We had a defeat yesterday and we came back today. Best teams come back like this."

Dushmantha Chameera (Player of the Series): “Yeah, I’m very happy with this win and this series. All the bowlers did really well on these flat wickets.
Before I came here, I played Bangladesh series. I was out of action for six months. I played club cricket and some leagues. That helped me.
We had a lot of fast bowlers in Matheesha, Binura and Nuwan Thushara. They had experience and they played leagues. We had a good bowling attack.
I think I first played in Zimbabwe. I enjoyed playing here."

Kamil Mishara (Player of the Match): “Winning the game for the country, I feel really good. It’s a bit of pressure before the game but the management asked me to play my natural game. I just wanted to feel my rhythm. It felt good.”
Player of the Match: Kamil Mishara
Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe Captain): “It was one of those targets we haven’t seen many times. We were pleased with that effort. We would have taken that total. You will see one or two overs here and there but I’m happy with how the batters fared. It was a very good total.
I think credit to where it is due. Sri Lanka batted well. We as a bowling unit weren’t up to the mark today. 191 chasing in 18 overs, we weren’t up to the mark. They batted well as well but we could have done better.
We will be trying more combinations going to Namibia. There will be few tweaks here and there. I personally back the boys but we will be trying some combinations.
Certainly, the standard of cricket we have played is a big positive. Few bad moments shouldn’t take away the credit we must deserve for the way we have played."
