Dilshan - Throughout the tournament we started well both with the bat and the ball. Middle order was disappointing again. This was a great tournament, we are not in a great situation, crowds were great all over.

Mahmudullah - Bowlers did very well, Vikings started well and our bowlers bowled very well too. It was great pleasure batting with Gayle. I think its good to be on winning way, Chris batted very well and showed his class.

Gayle - Its good to be among runs, guys have been playing good cricket. I didn't score in last two games and it was crucial. It was better wicket today, ball was coming on to the bat, not much spin though, we should be prepared for the next games.

Well, It was Gayle show again. Bulls have mauled the Chittagong Vikings in all aspects of the game. Chasing 135, Bulls never looked in trouble. Gayle alone scored the 3/4th of the runs. He smacked nine maximums in his total of 92. Vikings badly missed the services of Tamim early on and Amir in the latter half. Chris Gayle had been adjudged man of the match for his match winning innings.
