Shakib Al Hasan: “When you score runs you feel better but having said that we played well the pitch was different than the other one. NZ put a good total and we were always behind in the game. If we scored 15-20 runs would’ve been better. Losing wickets cost us the game too. If you look at our last three games, we’ve been losing wickets consistently every few overs, and you don’t get momentum. You are left forcing to build innings. We are not that far, we have a few areas we need to fix. We know what exactly the World Cup team is, we were just trying to give some guys a game to understand the best combination for the World Cup. We’ll approach tomorrow to try and win the game. That’s why it is an important game tomorrow.”
Tim Southee: Put a score on the board, that was good. It was a solid batting performance. As a group, we are getting better and better, and we need to improve in some areas still. I think we may have been a bit sloppy in the field, but the bowlers set the tone. Still, stuff to work on. We’ve had a few injuries, so need to see how the players scrub up before the Pakistan game. Want to play a competitive match before the T20 World Cup.”
Glenn Phillips is the Player of the Match: “The way Devon batted was phenomenal. His partnership with Guptill set it up.”
