Quotes from the presentation
"Shocker," says Brendan Taylor. "Very disappointing. We were happy restricting them to 268 on a flat wicket, but we didn't bat well. No room for excuses. We have got to come back well. It's such a good wicket. We kept finding ways to get out. it is frustrating. Bangladesh kept it really simple. We can learn from them. Not much time. Tomorrow practice, and come out and be positive and back ourselves. They are going to be tough to beat, but we will be up for that."
"Always happy with such wins," says Mushfiqur Rahim. "It is an important match because this is the series opener. We lost a few wickets, but Nasir and Mominul and Mahmudullah batted really well. Shows Nasir is in good form. It is a pleasure to play with him. He and Mominul put up a crucial partnership. Shafiul took early wickets, and we knew it was a matter of one or two wickets when they got that partnership going. And Zia bowled superbly."
"First of all I thank Allah," says Ziaur Rahman, the Man of the Match. "I was looking to bowl straight, just bowl line and length. Everybody supported me. Beautiful country. I am enjoying the stay here."
Shakib plucks out a stump for Ziaur Rahman, who came into the match with an average of 100, but has taken five wickets to skittle out Zimbabwe. That's a big win by 121 runs after being put in. A solid innings from Nasir Hossain set them up after Bangladesh had been 94 for 4 at one stage. After that, their bowlers, no longer relying on just spin, put the hosts under a lot of pressure, and reaped the wickets
"Our boys played really really well," says Abdur Razzak. "We batted well first, and then bowled really well. When I started the career, we have been playing more ODIs than Tests so we enjoy the format. We will try to play similar kind of cricket in the coming matches."
