The pace at which the spinners bowled was perfect," Dhoni said on the post-match presentation rite.

"We expect a lot more of our batting, and losing eight for 20 or no matter it's unacceptable. Playing towards one of the crucial absolute best sides on this planet, there's room to be informed. A lot comes at the again of losses, so tough classes. But it is necessary we take them in. The disappointment may be very recent after a efficiency like this despite the fact that. The Test collection was once extremely tough, getting into this one-day collection, after heavy defeats, we fought onerous in some tough surfaces. That was once a excellent effort," said Williamson.
"We satisfaction ourselves on studying game to game, and as of late we did not display that. There were selection of people who did their reputations excellent. Someone like Tom Latham with the bat and Mitchell Santner's all round work," he added.
