Here's what the captain said after the match:
Speaking after the match, Wolvaardt said in the post-match presentation, "That was a lot closer than we would have liked it to be. But, yeah, I am glad we got the points in the end. Tried to stay as patient as we could (when the team was under pressure)."

"Yeah, not ideal (talking about lack of contributions from top-order). But at least we are just getting over the line. I think there have been series and games in the past where we would just be on the losing side of these games. So I think the fact that we are just winning and that the lower order is really scoring a lot of runs is good to know."
On the other hand, Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana expressed pride in her team's fight and how they are crying in the changing room after their loss.
"I'm really happy the way they have given their 110 per cent today. And they are very emotional right now, and they keep believing in themselves that we can get this win. So I think it was a great learning experience for us," she added.
