At the post-match presentation, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto reflected on the disappointing loss and said:

On the positives for the Bangladesh team from this contest, Shanto added:
"I think Tanzid Hasan batted really well and the fast bowlers too bowled well but had Litton Das batted longer and we could have picked up a couple of wickets with the new ball, it could have been a different ball game."
