After arriving back at the hotel at 3am, the team had to depart for Trinidad at 8am the same morning. The lack of sleep made the players tired and emotionally drained, as they had to process a lot. It was new territory for them, and all these factors contributed to their performance on the field. Despite their efforts, they were outplayed on the day.
The team hopes to learn from this experience and improve their game. Compared to the previous 50-over World Cup in November, they have progressed. It is important for them to take it step by step and continue learning from each match. The batters, in particular, need to understand what it takes to play international cricket and face strong bowling sides like South Africa. They must learn to adapt to different pitch conditions and find ways to win games.
Although the team has been successful in finding ways to win games in the past, they were unable to do so in the most recent match. It is a valuable learning experience for them, and they will work on improving their performance in the future.
