    ‘Subpar Finish Disappointing After Strong Comeback’: Neesham Reflects On NZ’s 3-2 Series Loss To South Africa

    Jimmy Neesham: Stand-in skipper Jimmy Neesham admitted that New Zealand’s below-par performances in the final games cost them the T20I series against the South Africa cricket team, after the hosts went down by 33 runs in the decider at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Wednesday.

    Chasing 188, New Zealand could only manage 154/8 despite brief resistance in the middle overs, as South Africa sealed the five-match series 3-2.

    Reflecting on the campaign, Neesham said the team did well to bounce back after an early setback but failed to maintain momentum towards the end. “It was obviously a tough start, and then we fought back in games two and three to go 2-1 up. But unfortunately, a couple of subpar performances at the back end of the series are disappointing,” he said.
