Q. Tough luck today. What do you think was the turning point of the game?

MAHMUDULLAH: I think at that point of time we were in a game, we were in a good race against the West Indies. If Liton's last shot would have been 6 -- I thought it was probably 6, but that's an advantage when you have 6'5" or 6'7" tall fielder in your outfield who can catch. So I think probably that was one crucial moment in that catch.

And in T20 games you have the sort of close calls every now and then. Unfortunately, we came second today, but I think probably, if me or Liton got into the last over, we were both set, would have been a different story. Having said that, probably Russell nailed his yorkers quite well.

Q. What's next for the team?

MAHMUDULLAH: Definitely we'll play for our pride. We've been trying hard and hard to get a win. Two more games to go. We'll put our everything definitely to win these last two games.

Q. Any last message for the fans in the stadium who turned up in numbers?

MAHMUDULLAH: I'm very disappointed because we let them down. They have been supporting throughout all the games. So please, please keep supporting us, and inshallah, we'll try to deliver some wins, inshallah.
