Bangladesh skipper: As I said yesterday, we still have a chance to go but we need to win all the matches. My knees were hurting a bit, but we have enough bowlers to bowl in the death so it’s not much of a worry. I think the turning point was the two wickets that Mustafizur got, Russell getting out in the first over.
West Indies skipper: We were around 40-50 runs short. But I stll think we could have been a lot more disciplined with the ball and we let ourselves down in the field as well.
