Paul Stirling (Ireland Captain): "That was undoubtedly difficult. some of the same mistakes from the previous two weeks. We'll think tomorrow and hopefully will improve on Friday. Every game must be taken as it comes; batting for ourselves wouldn't have been fantastic.
I believe it was a combination of them being a solid team. I didn't anticipate it being as one-sided as it has been. There aren't any dead rubbers, in our opinion. Therefore, anticipate the game on Friday."

Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh Captain & POTM): "It obviously feels good to be on top as a Bangladeshi. Important was we turn up today and put up the same show that we have been doing from the last four games in the T20 format and that's what exactly we did.
That's what we have already discussed in the dressing room. That's how we want to play. If we want to be great, competitive side in T20, we have to do that (batting approach). All other teams are doing this and are getting the result so no point in sitting back so that's what we discussed and we agreed that's how we're gonna play and luckily it's coming off.
When I batted Harry Tector was bowling. When he bowled slowly, it spun and gripped so that's what I was thinking because there is something on the wicket. Why not start with a spinner from the other side?
If you are a good team and you go to Australia or England, if you are 2-0 down they will always try to win 3-0 so that's what we'll try to do but in a T20 game it can be anybody's game. Its shorter format, one or 2 boys can play well and change the game so there is no point that we will be complacence. We might change few guys, try few other players but they will be equally hungry to make runs or take wickets for Bangladesh."
