Player Of Match QuoteChamari Athapaththu | Player of the Match and Sri Lankan skipper: Really happy, I always try my best and lead from the front. Our bowling attack and batting unit did really well in today's game. We knew South Africa are a very quality team and they are playing in their home conditions, but we played good cricket today and finally we won. She is our U-19 captain and upcoming player, she showed how good she is today and I am really happy for her [on Vishmi]. Just play my natural game when I'm in the middle and focus on the next game as well. We have good culture in the team. We share a lot of knowledge and always think about the game. I think 140-150 was a good score, but unfortunately we couldn't get there. We upset some big teams on a couple of occasions, and this time we want to play good cricket and try to go to the semi-finals. This is my 8th T20 World Cup and I hope I can do better and help my team reach the semis. Really happy to see a lot of crowd here, it's a good thing for women's cricket.
