After the match, Masood stated that the entire team must take responsibility for the loss, highlighting missed opportunities and the need for self-reflection. He noted that Pakistan had been in a promising position at tea, sitting at 116 for 3, but lost crucial wickets shortly after, which shifted the momentum in favor of Bangladesh.
