Mohammad Mithun (Chittagong Kings Captain): "Yes definitely. These kind of games are always emotional to be honest. We were in control in the first 15 overs of the 1st innings but the momentum shifted towards them.
Similarly during our batting, we were under pressure for the first half of the innings as he lost few quick wickets and the game almost slipped away from our grasp at one stage. But the way Sunny and Aliss batted, there innings was just unbelievable.
Yes, as I said, the game was pretty much under control as we were losing wickets at regular intervals. We were disappointed at one stage as we thought that the game has slipped away but as I said, the way those two batters played, simply unbelievable.
Yes 100%. This win will give us a massive boost. We have played some really good cricket in this season as a unit. The entire team has given their 200%. We have 1 game left and we want to give our everything."

Aliss Islam (Player of the Match): "No actually, when I was batting with Sunny bhai, he told me to have the belief and trust on yourself. It's cricket, anything is possible.
Absolutely. When I tried to take the second run, I twisted my ankle. I had a chat with Sunny bhai and he told me to walk off the field as I was unable to run. 8 runs were required off 3 balls at that time and we had to run really hard.
I told Sunny bhai that I can try to run but he told me to leave the field, Shoriful will try to do it. I am really happy that Shoriful hit a boundary in the first ball and then I could finish off the game. It feels really good."

Mehidy Hasan Miraz (Khulna Tigers Captain): "Yeah definitely. I think it was an excellent match. Boys played really well. Aliss had a great game. It's cricket you know, it happens. We required one good delivery. If you don't bowl a yorker, you have to pay the price.
Yeah definitely. The wicket looked tricky but the way Hetmyer batted it was really good. I think we were 10 runs shot as we did not get enough runs in the first 15 overs.
You know this is cricket. The bowlers have worked really hard but in this situation, the credit goes to them. They have played really well.
