After winning the match, Gerhard Erasmus said that the journey to the T20 World Cup 2022 has been fantastic for us. Our team started off with a big win. However, the team still needs a lot of improvement. At the same time, after losing the match, Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka did not bowl well.
Also, we did not do well with the fielding. We lost three wickets in the power play. He further said that when we are chasing 160, some partnerships are needed from the batsmen. It is important that the openers and the number three batsmen score runs.
