Jason Holder (St Kitts & Nevis Patriots Captain): "Just the character of the boys (on what pleased him the most). We had come from a tough game and it was brilliant from the boys. I said to the guys at the beginning that decision making will be crucial. The young players have been fantastic for us. The seamers have been good as well.
We were short on runs but it was again a brilliant performance from the boys. Just lots of love (on the fans and crowd). This was a special one for me as well. This is a new franchise for me and winning this shows my character as well. Thank you."

Rovman Powell (Barbados Royals Captain): "It is disappointing to see us throw a game like this away. I think through the middle overs we didn't bat how we wanted to, it was basically six or out.
It is a good wicket. You had to get yourself out on this surface, we didn't bat well. Hopefully, next time we can.
Show that the game is not over. Once you keep fighting as St Kitts did today, you are always in the game. It is just disappointing that we lost two games that we should have won.
Yeah, I think it went pretty well. If were told to chase 170-180 at the start, we would have taken that. This is the second game where we didn't field well. There are few little areas where we need to work on. But young Ramon Simmonds did well, so there's a lot of encouragement."

Jason Holder (POTM): "It feels damn good. We have had some tough games, but the guys believed. We put some runs on the board. We always stuck in the game and credit to the boys for the character they showed.
I am trying my best to work it out. We have so many bowling options. Unluckily, Waqar was not at his best today. It brought the seamers back into the game. I am just trying to understand the guys a bit more, trying to understand when can I bring myself in the game.
I just want to have a clear mind and be a bit more decisive. I guess so. I see the game from a different light as a captain. I enjoy what I do, the boys are making my job easier."
