Intro:
Reaction from Tamim Iqbal and Preston Mommsen after Bangladesh beat Scotland by six wickets in Nelson, New Zealand on Thursday.
Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) Preston Mommsen, Scotland captain:
"There's a huge amount we can take from today's game. I think the way we batted as a team, the way Kyle Coetzer batted. That individual performance is the best ever individual performance by a Scotland player at a World Cup. So, as a team we're very proud of what he achieved out there. We're proud of the, the first half and that first innings total, again, breaking another record, that's the highest score a Scotland team's scored at a World Cup, and hopefully people back home are proud of that performance. Unfortunately that couldn't come together in a win."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Preston Mommsen, Scotland captain:
"The Bangladeshi team, altogether have played hundreds and hundreds of ODIs (One Day Internationals), where as we've, we've played a handful. of ODIs together. So that, of course that comes into it, experience and handling and managing that chase. That showed that, they've done that before and they went through the gears very well."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Tamim Iqbal, Bangladesh batsman:
"We had a team meeting before we came out to bat. The coach said we should bat like we're batting first, and not to think about the total. We chased down a similar, similar kind of a score two, three years back against Zimbabwe and we batted in a similar way. So, rather than thinking about scoreboard, that's extra pressure, we were just enjoying the wicket. The wicket was fantastic and the outfield was really quick, so we didn't have to do too much because, if we were timing the ball and the ball was flying, so that made (it) easy for us. So, we just batted.... ball by ball."
