Wolvaardt rues South Africa's lost opportunity

At Dubai International Stadium, South Africa failed to chase down New Zealand's total of 158/5 in the title clash and lost by 32 runs to settle for another second-placed finish following being runners-up to Australia on home soil last year.

“Before the game, we had a discussion that we really feel this is our year. A lot of people felt that way. They had some aunt who had a feeling or had a funny tingling in their pinky finger that we were going to win.”
