South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma has admitted that his team had 'no answers' to a dominant Australian display in the third ODI of the three-match series. They had already clinched the series with wins in the first couple of games, but the Australian side went all guns blazing in the series finale at the Great Barrier Reef Arena to sign off the series on a high. The 276-run loss in Mackay was South Africa's heaviest defeat in their ODI history.
The Proteas captain further went on to acknowledge that they needed to find the correct measure while trying to play an assertive brand of cricket in the third and final match of the series. He was also positive that this heavy defeat would help them introspect and better themselves for the future.
Bavuma complimented his side's overall effort of coming out on top in terms of the result of the series. However, he reiterated that there were certain aspects which the team would be aiming to enhance while keeping the 2027 World Cup in mind, which is set to be hosted in Africa.
