Bangladesh scrape through by 7 runs but Afghanistan had their missed moments

Afghanistan Asghar Stanikzai: "Congratulations to them. They played good cricket today. Rashid and Naveen bowled really well. At one point of time, they looked like getting to 290, but we pulled things back. We played some poor shots and that cost us the game."

Bangladesh Mashrafe Mortaza: "They played really well in both departments. The catch almost cost us. Shakib and Taskin bowled really well in the end. We cannot make any excuses, we have not been up to the mark.
We could have scored 280-plus. Next match, hopefully we will do well. Rubel just came back from injury, things take time. Next match they will come up hard."

Shakib Al Hasan (Man of the Match): "We knew that this was going to be tricky as we were playing almost after a year. That is why we chose to bat. We were short by 20 runs. Spinners bowled exceptionally well today. The rule in our team is to take the game close. Tamim played really well. Those partnerships helped us score 265 runs."
