Taijul Islam(Player of the Match): "I am very pleased to represent my country and it lifts my spirits when I take the 10 wickets for the country. It's a team game, so if all the players of the team do well, then the results will surely be in our way. The confidence is important, winning the first game in the series gives us a confidence while going into the second game."
Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh Captain): "I think credit goes to all the players, especially Taijul, Nayeem, Shoriful and Miraz, who bowled very well and I am very happy.
As you said, everyone enjoyed this match and we are not thinking about the result, we just follow the process. As a young player, this is our opportunity to do something for our team. So everyone is very happy to win this match, and of course, it gives you that confidence to go into the second one.
For me, I think fast innings, we could have scored 50 to 80 runs more. But still, as I said, the bowlers did a great job. So probably next match, if the batsmen take more responsibility, it will help us, our team to win.
Now I'm thinking of the next Test. For me, half the job is done. Still, a long way to go."
