Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh Captain): "I feel we made the same mistakes as we made in the first game. This is not a good sign for the team. We have to improve.
I think it was a good decision to bowl first. Everyone bowled really well in the first six to seven overs. The wicket got slow as the game progressed.
Take responsibility as a batsman. We have to believe in ourselves and score.
After six or seven overs, we didn't execute our plans. Sakib, Taskin and Mustafizur bowled beautifully. But we had to pick a wicket or two in the middle overs."

Game Changer of the Match: Nitish Kumar Reddy
Great Indian Striker of the Match: Rinku Singh
Smart Saver of the Match: Hardik Pandya
Suryakumar Yadav (India Captain): "You can say that. At the same time, I wanted us to be in such a position. I wanted our number 4 and 5 to come out to bat in that precarious situation. Happy for Rinku and Nitish. They batted exactly how we wanted to be.
Absolutely, the message has been loud and clear. We have asked them to express themselves. Just need to go out and bat as they do in the nets, practice sessions and in domestic games. Just the jersey changes, rest remaining remains the same.
(Chuckles on asking about considering himself as a bowler) No! Only in the last over.
I wanted to see what different bowlers can do, especially in games where we're defending 170-175. So, I used many bowlers without Hardik. Sometimes Hardik doesn't bowl, and sometimes Washington Sundar doesn't. I wanted to see what the other guys had in store, really happy with it. It was Nitish's day, so I wanted to give him a chance."

Player of the Match: Nitish Kumar Reddy
Nitish Kumar Reddy (Player of the Match): "Feels very great representing India. Feels so proud of this moment and I want to live in the moment.
I have to give credit to the captain and the coach. They asked me to play with the same freedom as I do in the IPL. They gave me the license to play freely. That no ball came at the right time and it helped me get the momentum.
It feels very great. This is the first time I have been part of the Indian cricket team. I want to continue playing for the team and show promise and keep contributing."
