That's all we have from the final today, it's Vishal Dikshit signing off. Goodbye and good luck!

A one-sided match in the end in the final. Two strong teams couldn't make it a thriller. Basnahira won the toss and batted, as expected. But. they managed only 109 which made for an easy target for Kandurata. Their openers started well and regular boundaries from their top four ensured them a berth in the Champions League T20 to be played in India in September.

It's time for the presentation:

Nuwan Kulasekara is the Man of the Match for his 3 for 19

Angelo Mathews: "We have a good batting line up and they also handled their bowlers very well. We kept losing wickets throughout the innings."

Lahiru Thirimanne: "The wicket was pretty good and we did well to restrict them to under 120. Our bowlers, especially Lokuhettige and Lokuarachchi, did very well today. It's been a great tournament for the youngsters and a good opportunity to groom themselves. It was really easy for me with an experienced bunch of cricketers."
