In the post-match interview, Nepal captain Rohit Paudel also expressed his disappointment, but was proud of the effort his team put in at the same time. He stated that they were not here just to participate but to compete and play their best cricket.

“The disappointment is there but at the same time very proud of the team. The way the boys showed their effort against England. That takes a lot of credit. I think when we went down today, the only message to the group was, whatever we have, we will give 110% on the ground. And I think the boys gave everything they had. That’s what makes them different. And I’m very proud of them. We had that belief when we got to the World Cup. We didn’t come here just to participate, we wanted to compete and we had that belief in the group that we can beat any team if we can,” he said. We played our best cricket.” (via Crickbaz)
