"Tough, tough day. We didn't show up as a batting group. We need to sit and chat about how we need to play ODI cricket. Obviously, the conditions didn't help us today but whenever we get good batting tracks, we need to plan how to bat better in this format. Difficult to say (about the par score) as the wicket gets better as the day progresses. Need to stick together and hopefully we can get better. Toss does play a big factor. It's about accepting challenges and showing fight". - West Indies skipper Nicholas Pooran said.

 "At the beginning of the series, I said that this is a format that we are proud about, and we have performed well in the past. Dressing room wasn't the happiest (after the Tests and T20Is) but everyone was keen to win. It's a great feeling to win but there is still room for improvement, and need to tick more boxes. Aim is clearly the next ODI World Cup next year. I was batting well, just that I wasn't converting starts" - Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal said.
