Roston Chase (Player of the Match): "Obviously, it's a great feeling. All my friends are watching this and a special feeling.
It's something we talk about in the team meeting. If they get off to a good start in the powerplay, it's our job as spinners to step up and pull back things.
I love fielding at point. It gets me going. Today, I wasn't having the best of the days. I almost missed the bus. But entered the game and I was ready to go.
It's a great place to play cricket. I come from Barbados and it's a great stadium. The fans are amazing and they always support you.
It's our destiny and our goal is to win the World Cup. Anyone in front of us, we have to beat them and we are up for it."

Aaron Jones (United States of America Captain): "Yeah, tough night to be honest for the boys. Mainly, against the West Indies, we needed to get to 170-180 and we failed to get there.
I think we lost wickets in clusters. We have to get back to the drawing board and come back stronger on Sunday.
We just tried to go hard. We needed to pick wickets in the powerplay and see how it goes. But West Indies are a strong start and they didn't allow us to come back.
It will be a great game against England. We will go home. Have some rest and come back stronger.
Yes. The crowd is amazing. I just want to thank everyone for the support. A big thanks for supporting me personally and USA team.

Rovman Powell (West Indies Captain): "Its very special. Kensington brings special memories for us. Opportunity for boys to come out and play some good cricket.
Roston plays a critical role for us. Credit to him, on a very good surface he bowled really well. Credit to all the boys we set a goal and achieved it.
Hope got an opportunity against England at St. Lucia but chopped out the next game due to combination. Its good to see him come back in and be as dominant as he can be. That shows the strength of the team.
South Africa should be a good game. Its a tough nation to play against but the guys are up for the challenge.
We want to be back on the 29th to play in our special place to play cricket. Thanks to the crowd of Barbados supporting us here tonight. They have a special place in our hearts."
