Not Getting Into T20 World Cup Semifinals 'A Bitter Pill To Swallow': Mark Boucher

By IANS News November 07, 2021 • 11:12 AM View: 1265

South African coach Mark Boucher conceded that not being able to make the last-four grade at the ICC T20 World Cup despite beating one of the toughest sides in the tournament was a "bitter pill to swallow", but added that the team knew "the equation was very difficult for us to have to get through".

South Africa put up a commanding performance in their last Group 1 'Super 12' game on Saturday evening defeating England by 10 runs, but the Net Run Rate (NRR) to displace Australia from the No. 2 spot in the group was just too difficult to achieve.
