Eoin Morgan: The wicket was slower than we thought. Definitely slower than the wicket two nights ago. It swings early in the powerplay in these conditions, but it was sluggish. We needed to bowl and field well and we did. Shubman played extremely well and led the chase. The depth of the squad to be able to call Shakib is a huge luxury, so he has had a huge impact. We didn't know it wouldn't be played in India, and we have done well in the conditions and adapted well. We are focused on playing good cricket and we've done that in the last three weeks. The game plan has had a good impact in the dressing room and guys are putting their hands up. We have done well to adapt to the slow conditions and I'm happy with that.
Most Valuable Player of the Match: Shubman Gill
Let's Crack it Sixes: Abdul Samad
Super Striker of the Match: Dinesh Karthik
Kane Williamson: I think if we were close to the 150-mark, it would have been a par score. We did have our chances to squeeze the scoring but it was always going to defend such a low score. We haven’t been able to identify the right score all season. We need to go back to the drawing board and re-assess things. We could have built more partnerships in the middle. Unfortunately, we were 10-15 runs short of the current score which would have been a competitive total. Umran has been bowling really quick in the nets and it’s really nice for him to get an opportunity today. Obviously, we’re out of the competition, so it’s a chance for some other boys to also get to play.
