After the match, Harmanpreet Singh said: "It's always important to bounce back. In the second innings we showed our characters and came up with positive results. Our bowlers were bowling under pressure but did well. In this series we have a couple of young bowlers who are going to take responsibility and bowl for us. Important for us to trust them. We are not going to hide them in the field."
