That's all from our today's coverage of 4th T20I between USA and Canada. Gourav Samal here is signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Saptak Sanyal and Pritam Dey and scorer/analyst Yogesh Kumar. Thank you for joining us. Stay tuned for all cricketing actions around the world. Good night.
Harmeet Singh (Player of the Match)- "I waited for this for a long time in my career. I try to do what I can do the best. I play with the lengths a lot. As the wind here is a factor, it helped me. I tried to go a little bit quicker in the deliveries. I wanted to get fuller to restrict them from hitting any reverse shots. It is a pleasure to play with this guys. I love the fearless cricket. There's no fear of getting dropped. The management backs us a lot. We have a very healthy competition in the dressing room. It is a very competitive team."
Player of the Match- Harmeet Singh
Monank Patel (USA Captain) : I’m really happy with the way we played today. Losing the toss helped us as we knew in the second innings it will help the spinners. The powerplay was crucial for us and even after losing some wickets we came back well and put up a good total on the board. He (Corey Anderson) is an experienced player and he adds lots of value to the team. His guidance and support will surely help us.
Saad Bin Zafar (Canada Captain)- "I think we did a few things wrong. I think we did well in the powerplay but we gave too many runs. I think 160 was a good total to chase but we failed to accelerate at the right times. Bajwa played an exceptional knock and he has shown promises. We went with him because he looked good. We still want to win the last game. We need to do a lot of things correct to finish the series well."
