Porterfield: It was a fantastic win. It's a great position to be in. We thoroughly believed in ourselves that we can chase this down. We knew it was a very good pitch. We knew it was a par score, it was a good pitch and we just needed a platform. Most definitely (when asked if Ireland can qualify for the quarters). We are going to play in completely different conditions.

Holder: It was a tough loss. We backed ourselves to defend 300. It was a good partnership between Simmons and Sammy. We tried to be a lot more specific in terms of our powerplay overs. I think we just need to be more precise when we set the fields and bowls to those plans
Stirling: Great to win that first game in the competition and hopefully we can make it two from two in a few days from now. I was happy with my innings. I owed the guys 90 runs after dropping Sammy on nought, so it was nice to get a few. I think it was a good toss to win. We got early wickets and the pitch got better and better as the day went on, thankfully we chased it.
