The Tembo Bavuma highlights key reasons for defeat
Speaking at the presentation after the match, Bavuma acknowledged the defects of the team, emphasizing the key factors that led to their removal:
👉 The goal above the vapor – Bavuma admitted that Meta 363 was challenging, stating, “I think it was above. Probably 350, we would support us to persecute the result.” He suggested that the total number of new Zealand was not a little out of their reach, which made it difficult to chase.
👉 Missed key partnerships -Captain emphasized the importance of building partnerships, especially pointing out that he or Van der Dussen had to stay longer to imitate the efforts of new Zealand. He said: “We had one or two partnerships today, but I needed me or growth to continue and mimic that two of their strokes did.”
👉 Tactics of pressure on new Zealand -He attributed Kivia to the hips of Kivi, mentioning that South Africa had pierced the field outside the side and aggressively playing in the middle entry. He praised Rachin, Williamson, Mitchell and Phillips for their impressive blows.
“They really did us under the pressure of words, the way they managed to break out of the side and the way they played in the middle. Kudos them deserve them dough, Rachin and Williamson, and even the dough that came in, Mitchell and Phillips,” “ Added to Bavuma.
👉 Soft release at key moments – Thinking about his own release, he admitted to Bavuma that it was a “soft release”, while he also admitted that Rassie’s Wickket was unhappy, but crucial in leaning in the benefit of New Zealand. Their release left the bottom line with too much work.
“We had 125/1, and I was still hitting. Unfortunately, we couldn’t place that foundation for them. A little soft release for me and better rejection for Rasesie and eventually left too much for them,” explained Bavuma.
👉 If you don’t catch the key moments – The South African captain emphasized that his team lacked determination and ruthlessness, allowing New Zealand to return to the game. He stated, “We had to be more determined, not to give the opposition to return and be ruthless. We had to take care of the key moments in the game.”
