PLAYER OF THE MATCH
PLAYER OF THE SERIES
That's all from the presentation ceremony. India have notched up a clinical 3-0 series whitewash in the ODIs, and also claimed the T20Is earlier with a score of 2-1. Both these teams will next travel to Birmingham, England for the 2022 Commonwealth Games. India will look to build on this momentum against some trickier opponents, Sri Lanka will look to better these performances soon. That's all for now though, on behalf of Hariprasad and Vinod, this is Saurabh signing off. Take care...
Harmanpreet Kaur is the Player of the Match and also the Player of the Series. She also steps forward to pick up the trophy for the series whitewash. The full team, along with the support staff, pose for a few photos now with the trophy, as the celebrations kick off in the Indian camp.
Harmanpreet Kaur, India captain: It was a great game for all of us, we were always in the game so very happy with this perforamance. We were thinking about getting singles, it was important for us to stay there and bat till the end. This was our first tour without our two senior players. This is just the beginning, we have a lot more cricket coming up. We did really well in the T20 series, we just want to enjoy our cricket.
Chamari Athapaththu, Sri Lanka Captain: Our batters struggled in the middle overs. Credit to the India team, they are playing some good cricket at the moment. (On Nilakshi de SIlva) She is a good batter, she consistently performs well but dosen't get big scores.
17:06 Local Time, 11:36 GMT, 17:06 IST: The gulf in class was clearly visibly once again as the Indian eves manage a series whitewash on Lankan shores without breaking much of a sweat. Sri Lanka started the chase decently, and threatened to be in the ascendency after skipper Athapathtu got a better than a run a ball 44. However, the Sri Lankan chase took a nosedive since her dismissal, and they lost way too many wickets in the middle overs. They didn't have a resuce act akin to the Indians, and although the final partnership between de Silva and Ranaweera provided some resistance in the end, the game was far gone by them. India's pacers Meghna Thakur and Pooja Vastrakar picked up four wickets amongst them, and the ever impressive Rajeshwari Gayakwad amassed three scalps. Overall, a solid day in the office for Harmanpreet Kaur's side, stay tuned for the presentations now...
