QUOTES

SA skipper, Faf du Plessis: "They were much better in putting up a fight. Our boys played a great two-match series. In tough conditions, we batted really well and we bowled really well too. 

"It's extremely humid. AB's face was about to explode in the heat. We need to battle longer now. In the ODIs and the Tests. They've done really well in one-day cricket. But it's important for us that we have put our own statement out by winning this 2-0. We respect them, and we'll play our best cricket."

Bangladesh captain, Mashrafe Mortaza: "There are some positives. And we have to learn from our mistakes too. It was an off day as a fielding ground. So hopefully we'll come back in the one-dayers.

"After the start, we lost too many wickets. But we haven't played too many T20s recently. Not an excuse. We just have to improve. We've just been concentrating on ODIs and Tests. As a professional team though, we have to come and perform. We have to fight. We couldn't fight here at all. Hopefully that changes."
