Hashim Amla - "I think it was a good wicket, it was not a 160 wicket, we didn't apply ourselves. Credit to Bangladesh, it was just not our day. Key to this kind of wicket is to convert your starts. At one stage with 20/2 we had a chance to turn it around but they batted well. Rabada is a talented bloke, he has a great career ahead of him. We just didn't had much to bowl at. It is good for the Bangladeshi crowd. With series locked at 1-1, final ODI will be a cracking game of cricket.

Mashrafe Mortaza - "It was a much needed win for us. It is a sign of a good team. We have had a good run in last 6 months. Toss is always important. Good thing we lost the toss, bowlers did well to restrict them to such a small score on this track. Way boys are bowling is fantastic, Nasir did a great job. Shakib is a big player and restricted run flow well in the middle overs. Batsmen stepped up and gave us a good win. We lost couple of wickets early, but patience was the key to this win. We were calm as the total wasn't a big one. Mahmudullah has been a key player for us, he has continued well after his injury. We can't just think about win, we need to get our process right."
