Don’t really know what we did wrong in T20 WC final

Bloemfontein

Ahead of the one-off Test against England, South Africa spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba reflected on the Women's T20 World Cup final loss to New Zealand and said still don't know what they did wrong. We're still trying to find our feet, because we just don't really know what we did wrong, BBC Sport quoted Mlaba as saying. The spinner, who finished with 12 scalps only behind Melie Kerr's 15 in the tournament, vowed to bring the trophy back home soon. I felt like we had the World Cup but I don't know what happened to us on the day. But, we are going to come back and hopefully bring the trophy home soon. Mlaba was instrumental in South Africa's runners-up campaign in UAE including her 4-29 against West Indies in the group stages. Proteas were the front runners to lift the title in Dubai after their massive eight-wicket win over defending champions Australia in the semifinal. However, fate backed New Zealand as South Africa fell 32 runs short of the winning target in the chase of 159. South Africa had little time to reflect on their recent setback, as their multi-format series against England began just weeks later. The series offers an opportunity for Mlaba to potentially earn her fourth Test cap when South Africa faces England in Bloemfontein on Sunday. Now a key figure in South Africa's bowling lineup, Mlaba's journey to the top has been anything but conventional. Growing up in a township in KwaZulu-Natal, her early passion was traditional Zulu dance.
