Given their form going into Wednesday's T20 World Cup semi-final, South Africa expected to compete better against New Zealand but are philosophical about their nine-wicket defeat in a format where momentum can swing quickly.
South Africa had won all seven of their games going into the last-four clash, with five of those wins coming in Ahmedabad, but stumbled when faced with a different set of conditions in Kolkata, where the ball did not come onto the bat as smoothly.
They set New Zealand a below-par 170 to win and their opponents easily chased it down with 43 deliveries remaining on the back of Finn Allen’s unbeaten 33-ball 100.
