We have a great side. Everybody is doing their job. As Chamari said, 130 will be a decent total on this wicket and we want to stop them below that. Radha isn't playing, Hemalatha comes in.

Harmanpreet Kaur, India captain

13:00 (IST) Oct 15

We're going to bat first. Pretty confident about my batting unit. Really excited. I've never played in the Asia Cup final. Wasn't in the squad in 2008. 130-135 is a good score. Same team.

Chamari Athapaththu, Sri Lanka captain

The biggest takeaway from a tournament like this is that Indian team's junior members could react to pressure situations in a perfect manner when they were thrown at the deep end of the pool.

11:38 (IST) Oct 15

Even Mandhana, who led in three games, skipped one game and didn't need to contribute much.

11:38 (IST) Oct 15

Such has been the impact of the Indian team, that skipper Harmanpreet played only four games (81 runs) and in total faced a only 72 balls in those matches.

11:38 (IST) Oct 15

The tournament brought to fore India's depth as the younger crop of players has shouldered the burden of taking the team to the final without any tangible contribution from skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and her deputy Smriti Mandhana.

11:38 (IST) Oct 15

A ruthless Indian team would look to reassert its supremacy and aim to win an unprecedented seventh Asia Cup title when it clashes with Sri Lanka in the final
