Bavuma said in the post -match performance, “Ideally, you wanted us to keep walking – at least 30th. We know how destructive our middle order can be when they are coming in the last 20 overs.” “Unfortunately, we were not able to set that foundation for them. At least a soft dismissal, at least from my side. I think it’s just left a lot for our middle order.”
For New Zealand, both Rachin Rabindra and Kane Williamson broke hundreds, and Bavuma felt that either they or van Der Dusen needed to match the efforts and to be right till the end.
“Yes, look, I think it’s [target] Was equal. I think they bat at the same time, we felt if [the target was] Nothing around 350 – no more than 350 – we will return ourselves to chase the score with the wicket, hopefully getting better, “Bavuma said.” From the batting point of view, we were not really able to get those partnerships. There was one or two partnerships, but I think you probably needed either herself or Rasi Van Der Dusen and what his top four batsmen did.
“But yes, 360 was always going to be difficult. Always someone needed someone to play well. We had David who did so, but we probably needed someone else.”
Bavuma also praised the New Zealand batsmen. While Ravindra scored 108 and Williamson scored 102 runs, Derryl Mitchell and Glenn Philips contributed a quick 49 to aim beyond South Africa.
“They actually put us under pressure from the gate-go, [with] The way they were able to pierce the closed side, and I think in the middle [overs]How they were able to maintain scoring boundaries, “Bavuma said.” Generally, we are proud of our ability to take wickets – especially in that middle period – but we were not able to do. Obviously, if you go to the stage of death with a wicket in hand, they always find it difficult, especially on this type of wickets. So yes, they are Kudos.
“His Betters to Shrey, Kane Williamson, Rachin, and even those who came – Michelle, as well as Philips. They put us under pressure with the bat.”
“Yes, he keeps doing so,” said Santner. “I think partnership [with Ravindra] Was on a large scale for us. It seemed that he could be disappointed many times, but he was able to go through walking and get through small periods where South Africa challenged us. I think he decided to flip the switch a little earlier and was able to cache like a cash in it, and then finished the boys to return to 360, where perhaps 320 could not be enough. ,
