West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite was the player-of-the-match for his scores of 126 and 85. During the match he batted for 810 minutes and faced 507 balls. Sri Lanka's experienced seamer Suranga Lakmal was named the player-of-the-series for his 11 wickets in the two matches.

Brathwaite said, "Obviously it was a good pitch. In both Test matches, the bowlers really worked hard and what I was pleased with is that none of the guys ever gave up. Even down to Alzarri's last spell, he was still giving an effort to get some short balls in so I'm very happy with the effort of the team."

He added: "And batting-wise, we continued to bat a number of overs -- 90-plus overs which is a positive for us. And yes, we would've liked to have won but I was very happy with the attitude and discipline that we had. The pitch was a good one throughout." The two-Test series ended in a 0-0 draw.
