It is a very good batting surface. India and Sri Lanka combined have score more than 1000 runs. A good decision from India to bat first and Sri Lanka will have to bowl within the line of the stumps and not give away width should they want to pick up wickets

Commentary

There it is then. Sri Lanka are Asian champions. It's been so long. The team has suffered so much, the country has suffered so much with the loss in the last men's Asia Cup, with the performances in the last two World Cups, with the economy, with the ban, it was a never-ending dark tunnel. It has been put to an end by the national silver light - Chamari Atapattu and her wonderful team that dances on her rhythm. It's an unbelievable achievement. India, meanwhile, they'd rue the chances they dropped, they'd rue the lack of intent in their batting and the inability to wage of the pressure. Like always, there are celebrations and there are lessons. But they are signs that Women's cricket is breathing, Sri Lankan cricket is breathing. It's Rudransh signing off on behalf of Lavil for Sportskeeda. Hope you have a day as good as those fans in Dambulla!

Chamari collects the trophy and the celebrations begin!

Chamari Atapattu (Sri Lanka captain): I am really happy about my team's performance, especially our batting. Special credit to Harshitha and Dilhari. This is not a one man show. The whole team helped me a lot. Support staff, youngsters, seniors. Finally we have won an Asia Cup. I have never seen such a crowd. Special thanks to Sri Lankan people and the crowd. They have helped my team. It's been really good for my Sri Lanka because we have to inspire the next generation. I enjoy my cricket all the time in the middle. I do my duty for my country and my team. We always talk about positive things in the dressing room. Special thanks to the coaches for that. This is not the end. Our next target is the World Cup. (On her future) Yeah, I hopefully will continue. Till the next World Cup.

BREAKING: Sri Lanka cricket announces a prize of $100,000 for the team over the tournament award.

Cheers for the Sri Lankan team as they walk up to take their winner's medals. They will be receiving it in their batting order, with Chamari Athapaththu receiving it at the last

Harmanpreet Kaur (India captain): We played very good cricket throughout. Today we made a lot of fumbles which is why we lost. It was a decent total. The powerplay didn't go how we wanted, we wanted some wickets. There are a lot of areas to improve. We'll work hard in the coming days. They have been playing good cricket for a long time. I know they have done well. Congratulations to them.

The Indian team now walks up to the podium to receive their runners-up medals. They will receive it in their batting order, with Harmanpreet Kaur receiving it at the last

Chamari Athapaththu is the Player of the Tournament. She will be speaking with the presenter later

Harshitha Samarawickrama is the Player of the Match. Here is what she has to say: She was very happy that she scored in the game. She had a couple of failures in the previous games and is happy to score against India. When Chamari was out, she wanted to bat in the middle with Kavisha and batted positively. She is very thankful for the freedom she got to play with (Translated from Sinhala)

Time now for the presentation ceremony. The match officials (match referees and umpires) walk up to the podium to receive their momentos
