Babar Azam (Pakistan Captain): "Yes, a very disappointing performance from the team. We tried our best but failed to get through. We started off well but failed to carry that momentum for the rest of the tournament. If we had won that South Africa game, the story would have been a different one for us.
We didn't field well or bowl well in a few games. We have made mistakes in all three departments- bowling, fielding and batting.
Today, we gave 30 runs extra. We bowled loose deliveries. Our spinners didn't take the wickets, which didn't help us. It affected us a lot. If spinners don't take wickets in the middle phase, you tend to struggle.
Yeah, we will sit together and see how to move forward. We will take the positives from this tournament and discuss our mistakes. Yes, I will try my best to put my experience and lead this side in the future. Thank you (replying to Atherton's wish to fly home safe)."

Jos Buttler (England Captain): "Yes, nice to put in a good performance to finish on a high. It's been a disappointing campaign overall and it is sinking in now. Lot to reflect on and happy to win the match.
Yes, today was great for us. This is what we are capable of and happy to win in the end. Yes, we should have done better without him initially and that's a big player for us.
Yes, it is a disappointing campaign but the talk was to make memories and have great moments and that's what we spoke about today.
Willey is a great performer since 2015 and has done well for us. To get Player of the Match in your last game is a great effort from us.
Yes, I know the road map for us. We don't need to change anything drastic like 2015. We need to look at the areas we need to put in the effort and hope to come back stronger. All good things come to an end, but we ended on a high."
