That's it from our coverage of this contest. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Arijit Kundu and scorer/analyst Ghanendra Singh Thakur. Stay tuned for more action from around the world.
Shadab Jakati (Player of the Match): [on his bowling] "It's important to win the match and take wickets for the team. The wicket was different. We were always confident that if we bowl in tight areas, we will get the wickets. Getting early wickets was crucial."
Player of the Match: Shadab Jakati
Naman Ojha (Indian Royals Captain): "[thoughts on the win] Very happy to be on the winning side today.
[on the strategy] Total was on the lower side but our bowlers did the job. They bowled in the right areas and that's what we want when the score is low.
[on Jakati and Jalota] They are both brilliant players and did well for us both with bat and ball. Well done to them."

Dhiman Ghosh (Bangladesh Tigers): "(It wasn't the day for you, what was the learning in the first match) We thought that the wicket was really good, but it wasn't that good. We will try to get better and come back strong. (One of your players scored a fifty but where do you thing went wrong) Yeah, I think we were going good. Alok Kapali played well but he needed some support. As a batting group we need to be better I feel."
