That is it from this game then! Sri Lanka have been brilliant throughout whereas, Netherlands we believed punched above their weight. The whole tournament was extremely entertaining. We hope you enjoyed our company, until next time, take care and goodbye!

Scott Edwards says he is very proud of what they have acheieved. He reckons they restricted Lanka to a chasable total but needed to play the spinners well. Adds the Windies win gave them a lot of confidence. He hopes they can do well in India too.
Sean Williams has been awarded the player of the tournament.
Dilshan Madushanka, MAN OF THE MATCH, he says he is happy he could do well in the finals. Adds, he just tried to bowl it in the right areas. Says Kasun Rajitha has helped him a lot.
Chris Silverwood says their first aim was to qualify for the World Cup, they had a lot of expectitations and they are now a happy side. States they came into the tournament with confidence. Adds the bowlers have been good, the youngsters were excellent and all of them have played their part.
For Netherlands except for Max O'Dowd and Logan van Beek nobody crossed the 20-run mark. Infact, just the three batters managed to score in double figures Quite a sorry batting card for them in this game. They needed a couple of good partnerships but that did not come.
Yet another brilliant performance from the Lankan bowling attack and it is yet another comprehensive win for their side. They have remained unbeaten and were absolutely brilliant. They were bundled out for a score we felt was under par but their bowlers were brilliant. Dilshan Madushanka was brilliant with the new ball. He got three. Then it was the spinners who weaved their magic. Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana were excellent yet again, they took 6 between them to help their side finish on top yet again.
