South Africa has had a successful campaign thus far, winning three out of four games.

However, the team has a number of areas that need serious attention, including batting collapses in the top-order, miscommunication between batters and the lack of ruthlessness in the bowling and fielding departments.

Brits revealed coach Mandla Mashimbyi’s favourite phrase, “if you lose, as long as you learn’, as one of the driving forces within the side as they continue their search for the perfect game.

The top-order batter revealed that there have been discussions within the team about their shortcomings as they look to put on a polished performance against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Friday.
