#3 Failure to capitalise after bagging early wickets
In all their three matches, the Kiwis managed to rattle the opposition batting with some crucial early wickets. However, barring the Australia match which was a washout, they were not able to contain the opposition middle order and ended up on the losing side.
Their performance against the Bangladeshis painted a perfect picture of what went wrong with their campaign. With the Tigers reeling at 33 for four, the Kiwis should have closed down the match and booked their place in the SF.
However, we all know how that innings panned out as Bangladesh won the do-or-die match and drew curtains to NZ’s campaign.
