So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj and my co-commentators, Dev Rajawat and AkshayaKrishna Polya. A note of thanks to our scorer, Dushyant Madhukar as well. Do switch over to the India vs Pakistan Women's T20 World Cup game while there are several other exciting matches going on as well. Until next time, it is a warm goodbye from us.
Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh Captain): (On winning the series despite the loss today) "Yeah, very happy. I think the way we played in the last three matches, I'm really proud of the boys. Especially today, the way we played and came back strongly in the last few overs. That's the character we need in the field. Everyone believed that we could come back at any time. So I'm really happy with the way we played.
(On Bangladesh's total of 275) I think 275 was a brilliant score. The way Hridoy and Mosaddek batted was great to see. But if you look at it, our spinners didn't get enough wickets in the middle overs. That cost us the match today. But that can happen in cricket.
(On Shoriful Islam's performance) The way Shoriful bowled with the new ball, in the middle overs and at the death, was really nice to see. He showed a lot of character. He didn't play the first two matches and then came back for this one. That's not easy. But the way he bowled was really pleasing to see. I hope he continues bowling like that.
(On competition within the bowling group) I'm very happy. That's what we need as a bowling unit. If you look at Taskin and Mostafiz, there are quality bowlers on the bench as well. They have worked really hard over the last few years. I think we have a very healthy competition in the dressing room. That's one of the reasons we've achieved these results. But again, there are still a lot of areas where we need to improve."

Towhid Hridoy: "When I batted, wanted to contribute for the team and execute my plan. It was a sporting track and hopefully we will get these kind of tracks again. If we want to perform in higher level, we should play on these kind of wickets. Hopefully, we do better day by day."
Towhid Hridoy has been named as the 'Most Valuable Bangladesh Player of the Series'.
Mosaddek Hossain (Player of the Series): (On his comeback performance) "Alhamdulillah for everything. I was waiting for the opportunity. I felt this was a privilege for me. After such a long time, I came back and performed for the team. It's been a privilege.
(On Bangladesh's total of 275) Yeah, I felt we were probably 15-20 runs short. At the end of the day, they batted really well as well.
(On contributing with bat, ball, and in the field) It's never easy to get an opportunity after such a long time. I was happy to come back and contribute to the team."

PLAYER OF THE SERIES: MOSADDEK HOSSAIN
Cooper Connolly (Player of the Match): "(On his knock and the finish) I am feeling nice. Was backing (Adam Zampa) Zamps and Riley (Meredith) to get us over the line.
(Getting the chance to open) Definitely satisfying but there are still some world-class players in Mitch (Marsh) and (Travis Head) Heady. Happy to get the opportunity.
(Batting aggressively at the start of the innings) It is just the way myself and Josh play. We try to take the game on. Always, from the start. We have the confidence in this team to chase or defend anything."
