Player of the Match: Wanindu Hasaranga.
Wanindu Hasaranga (Player of the Match): "I am back after 4.5 months. Thank everyone who supported me during the period. My last tournament was LPL. I didn't play cricket after that. Worked hard to come back here and played a couple of domestic games before that. I was not aware of the records. Looking ahead to the T20IS, I think we know their strengths and we know how to go about that. I have captained the B-Love Kandy team in LPL. So, I am aware as to how to go about captaincy. Hope to do well in the coming games and the T20IS."
Player of the Series- Janith Liyanage
Janith Liyanage(Player of the Series)- "I am very pleased and happy. I was performing well in the domestic and I just tried to trust my game. Playing my natural game has paid off.
I don't mind playing anywhere for the team. I just enjoy playing. Zimbabwe played really good cricket and they gave us a good fight. This series will remain as a good experience for me."

Craig Ervine (Zimbabwe Captain): "Look, I think the guys showed a great fight. I think we started well before the rain break and Wanindu's spell took the game away from us. We bowled well, but couldn't get it together. Looking forward to the T20IS. I think we need to look at areas that we need to work on and see how it goes. These conditions are alien to us, but it's all about the learning curve for us. We will come back stronger in the T20IS. Hope to do well there."
Kusal Mendis(Sri Lanka Captain)- "I am happy with the win. I am very much pleased with the batting of Janith Liyanage and also confident regarding the team's bowling unit.
I am enjoying my job as captain and I am looking forward to do this job."

So that marks the end of our coverage from the decider one day of the three-match ODI series between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. The Sri Lankan side have won the series by 2-0 margin comfortably.
