This is a big deal, we had never won here. But we believed in it even before the start of the series and we performed really well. Especially in the last 10-15 days, we have worked really hard. The credit for this goes to all the bowlers. Nahid bowled really well. Shakib was also good and Mehdi bowled with a lot of control. He bowled with the right line and length.’
