Player of Match: Kusal Mendis

So that's all from this ODI, a fairly comfortable win for Sri Lanka who continue their home dominance. The action shifts to Pallekele this Sunday for the second ODI. See you then, bye for now!
Charith Asalanka: (On being the golden arm for Sri Lanka) I can't say anything, thinking what should I say. During the drinks break, we said we need to break the partnership and bowl tight overs, that was the only way we will win the game. It was tough with the wet ball, but the bowlers did an amazing job. The toss was important because I wanted to bat first, it looked like a good, dry pitch. The best thing was both Avishka and Kusal got hundreds. When we started, we were short of a bowler and our plan was when the new batter comes in, I'll bowl a few overs. So that was the plan with our bowling.
Mitch Santner: When you lose two set guys, it can be a challenge to get started on these wickets. When you lose wickets in clumps, it is always a challenge. With the rain and dew and the outfield getting faster, we were fairly confident. It is one of those games where we did a lot of good things, but that five-over period while batting changed everything for us. We bowled pretty well, there was actually a great partnership from them to show us how to bat on this wicket. They bowled well in that five-over period and changed the game.
Kusal Mendis | Player of the Match: Nissanka got out early, and then me and Avishka batted well for the next 10 overs. The wicket was a bit slow, some balls were coming on slowly and some were straight. We wanted to take it slow. My game is generally to attack and score early runs.
