Black Caps too good for Proteas

Proteas batting coach Ashwell Prince admitted yesterday he felt the Proteas could have chased down their target, after they fell in a 21-run defeat to New Zealand in their second match of the T20 International tri-series in Harare.

The Black Caps picked up two points, drawing clear of the SA team on net run-rate at the top of the tri-series standings, with the Proteas also holding two points in second place after beating hosts Zimbabwe in the series opener earlier this week.

"I felt (the target) was gettable, it was a good pitch. We obviously lost a few wickets early on which put us up against it," Prince said.
