Player of the Series: Laura Wolvaardt.
Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa Women Captain and Player of the Series): "Yes, a tough second half to the game. We thought we were in the game always but credit to Sri Lanka and Chamari for that innings. There were moments in the game we lost out. Could have got more and missed the big moments. There were plans out there and we missed execution a lot. Great day for Ayabonga Khaka and she did well in the 100th ODI for her. Would have loved to win the series, but 1-1 is a fair result I would say. It has been a hard fought series and Sri Lanka have really challenged us throughout."
Player of the Match- Chamari Athapaththu.
Chamari Athapaththu (Sri Lanka Women's Captain and Player of the Match)- "I will have to play under pressure because I just enjoy that. Laura played very well and then I had one motto. To see the ball and hit the ball. My partnership with Nilakshi was crucial for the chase.
We are now focusing on world cup qualifiers. Every team is ready to give tough competition in that tournament and we will have to do better to secure a spot in the world cup. We are very keen to play the world cup.
As a captain, I always give one message to the girls. Just enjoy your time in the middle."
