Muhammad Waseem collects the trophy and his team-mates join him as they all now pose for the cameras. That brings an end to our coverage of the final game of this 3-match T20I series. A historic series win for UAE and some embarrassment for the Bangla Tigers. Hopefully, UAE replicate such performances at the international level against even better teams. That's all from our side folks. This is a goodbye from Nikhil, Anurag and Praveen. Good night!
Muhammad Waseem | Player of the Series: Very happy with this victory, congrats to our staff, management and board. I am very happy that we have made history. This series means a lot, happy with the way our boys played, have no words for this victory. The uncapped players coming in did really well. Haider Ali was exceptional on debut, he bowled very nicely. To be honest, we didn't lose our hopes. We are used to playing in these conditions. Very happy. First time I am receiving this trophy, I want to dedicate this award to my son.
Litton Das | Bangladesh captain: Definitely our performance wasn't up to the mark. The opposition played well, the credit goes to them. We did mistakes while batting today, this is not what we wanted in such conditions. We bowled second and dew was also a factor. The way Emon, Hridoy and Jaker batted, they played well. The bowlers were pretty good as well. We need to execute in a better way going foward. UAE bowlers played really well in the first half. Their batters didn't panic much, so credit goes to them.
