Qiana Joseph (Player of the Match): "(On her mindset when she went out to bat) When I went to bat, I was just trying to get a good platform for the team.
The pitch was fantastic to bat. I trust my skills and back myself, that is why the performances are getting better.
(Batting with Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin) It is always a pleasure to bat with two of the best batters in the world, pleasure to get a good score."

Nigar Sultana Joty (Bangladesh Women Captain): "It was our plan to bowl first. Somewhere you need to think out of the box. We failed today. We gave away too many runs.
I think the leg spinners bowled very well. But the batters hit good balls for boundaries also. At the end of the day, it is just a game. We didn't execute our plans. We could've done better as a batting unit. But then we have another match left. We will try to finish the series on a good note."

Hayley Matthews (West Indies Captain): "That is probably as close to perfect as it can get. Was a scintillating start, the way Qiana (Qiana Joseph) batted in the middle overs as well. We bowled superbly too.Knowing there is a massive score helped with the discipline.
They are two class players (Qiana Joseph and Deandra Dottin) and once it is their day, it is hard to stop them. Everyone was pretty good, we had so much momentum coming in from the first innings.
(On possibly resting some players for the last T20I) We will have to wait and see. It will be great for the younger girls to come out and have an opportunity to express their skills."
