'Very important win for us' – Liton Das

Das hit a career-best 32-ball 61 in the deciding Twenty20 International to help Bangladesh win by 19 runs (DLS method), and called the win one of great significance for his side.

"They are a very good team, they are the last World Cup [ICC World T20] champions, so this is a very important win for us," Das gushed.

He was modest about his own contribution to the victory, saying that he was lucky to have scored his first half-century in white-ball cricket. "The pitch was okay, it was similar to our country's wickets. This is my first fifty and I'm lucky," he said.

A vocal Bangladesh crowd backed their team all the way, keeping up the noise at all times, as the Windies stopped at 135/7 [17.1 overs] in response to Bangladesh's 184/5.

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan was pleased with the result, and lauded his team for bouncing back from defeat in the first game to take the series with back-to-back wins in Lauderhill.

"Unbelievable effort from the boys, after losing the first game we have shown a lot of character," he beamed. "As I told you in the previous presentation, we have the belief that we can win matches. We were playing against the world champions and the way all the boys showed character, I think we'll take a lot of confidence. Our record doesn't show great performances in T20, so hopefully from here we can kick on.

"This T20I series will give us the confidence that we can beat big teams and we know now how to win matches, especially tight matches. We kept on losing so many matches that were close but now we have started to win."

And on the supporters: "Very pleased the way we were supported. So many Bangladeshis they came from different parts of the US. They were supposed to fly back today but they stayed back because we won yesterday. Thanks to them we never felt like we were away from home, they played like a 12th man for us."

Things were slightly gloomy for Carlos Brathwaite, however. The Windies captain said that his batsmen needed to come up with better plans, particularly in light of upcoming tours to the sub-continent.

"We still need to be more sure with our plans while batting, especially against spin. We'll be going to Bangladesh and India so it will be even more important to execute our plans against spin," Brathwaite said.

He gave credit to his bowlers for reining things in during the death overs, hampering Bangladesh after a belligerent start. "Kudos must go to the bowlers, the kind of start they we were staring at about 210-220, so keeping them down to 150 was a good job," he said.
