Player of the match: Tanzim Hasan Sakib
Tanzim Hasan Sakib (POTM): "You know, we just want to keep things simple. We didn't want to panic and keep it simple and we did it. Everyone bowled well. Mustafizur bowled a maiden. Taskin, Shakib Al Hasan everyone bowled well as a unit.
We are excited for the Super 8 and we hope for the best in next stages.
(On whether they thought it will be tough for Nepal to chase down the target) Yes, spinners were turning it a lot on this track and we just bowled in right areas and got the results."

SUPER 8 GROUPS:
GROUP 1: India, Australia, Afghanistan and Bangladesh
GROUP 2: USA, West Indies, England and South Africa
Rohit Paudel (Nepal Captain): "I think as a bowling unit we bowled really well but as a batting unit, we could have been tighter. Bangladesh bowled really well and after first six over we were four down and it put a lot pressure on us. The top order batters could have taken more responsibility.
I think they bowled really well in the powerplay. As a batting unit, we need to step up. We need to understand where to score runs. I think in bowling we were up to the mark but as a batting unit, we need to work a lot.
Absolutely, I believe this team has a bright future but we need to work hard. We will do better in upcoming World Cups.
I think we have disappointed them (fans). We could have crossed the line in a few matches. I feel for them, I saw videos of them crying. We will try to make them happy in coming years."

Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh Captain): "Yeah, obviously, we are really happy with the way we have performed in this first qualifying round. Hopefully, we keep continuing with this superb bowling performance, but not with this batting performance. We need to improve a lot on that front.
We are not scoring much but we believed that we could defend. The way we've bowled, we knew we could take wickets and defend. The fielders have also been good.
We have a bit of everything. The fast bowlers have worked really hard for the last couple of years, which is why we have been doing well recently. In this format, bowling is very important. I hope they can continue.
In T20Is, momentum is very important. We need to have a better plan for the next round and execute it well. Hopefully, we can carry the momentum through to the next stage."
