POTM Mehidy Hasan Miraz said:

"It’s a great moment for me, I’ve done a lot of hard work in the past. Credit to the team management because they believed in me. I was a bit cautious, the captain told me to bowl in the right areas. He told me to be consistent and to focus on my own performance so credit to the captain. I took it ball by ball, didn’t look at the runs. Wicket was turning a bit, I just tried to play straight. I’ve always batted at no.8 so a great moment for me to bat at the top of the order. They tried me at the top of the order in the last few matches and it’s a great moment for me," Miraz said.

Wining skipper Shakib Al Hasan said:

"Very happy with the way we played. We believed if we got a wicket, we could come back in. Wasn't easy for few players, but happy with the way we batted and bowled. We have been practising here. We need to adapt to these things if we want to win. We got three, four fast bowlers, they can change any game. He's been playing very well. Shanto is another one, they always want to do perform well for the team," Shakib mentioned

Losing skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi said:

We had a good start, but we had bad shot selections after that. I think we fought well, but the score wasn't good enough. Looking forward to the next game. Need to learn from our mistakes, need to make sure it doesn't happen again," Shahidi said.
