South Africa had a horrible campaign in the ongoing World T20 in the Caribbean as they have been knocked out due to poor performances. They have lost two of their group matches against West Indies and England and managed to win only one against Sri Lanka. They will play their last group league match against Bangladesh on November 18.

All-rounder Suné Luus said that the team is still disappointed with their performances but they want to end the campaign with a good note. "It's never easy watching your teammates and your friends not do well but we still have another game tomorrow and we need to keep our heads up and be positive for that one," she told.



Luus expressed that another batting collapse was the reason for their miserable loss. "You could see how desperately we wanted it," she continued. "We all keep trying, it wasn't as though they went out there and said 'here's my wicket, just take it.' You can see that everyone wants to do well, you can see everyone tries to stay in the middle and get off the strike and tries to hit the boundaries, it just, unfortunately, looks like the more we keep trying, the more we're failing in this tournament and that really hurts everyone."



"It happened to me as well. You just really want to do well for your country and for your team, especially the management and the captain who put a lot of time and effort into our preparation, it's horrible for them, I can just imagine how they feel," she further added.



Luus suggested that the team needs to be positive to win against Bangladesh. "We just need to find a way, we need to stay positive. Bangladesh is never an easy team to play, they've got a lot of spinners so we need to counter-attack that. We'll sit and watch our footage and work out our plans for them and make sure we are prepared. In T20 cricket it can go either way so tomorrow we're going to have to work at it but it's a good opportunity to get some confidence back and some dignity back. We've got nothing else to lose at the moment so we're just going to go out there and play without fear of failure."



"I think the most important part about tomorrow if I bat will be for me to just go out there and enjoy because dealing with all the pressure coming from all sides we lost our enjoyment of the game and we can use tomorrow to get that back."
