18:51 IST Maddy Green, New Zealand Women, is up for a chat - When asked about what the chat was like after the loss, Maddy says it was a disappointing result for them and one the team is keen to put behind them quickly. She notes the side felt they had posted a competitive total on that surface and that the bowling, for the most part, was disciplined enough to create opportunities.
She admits that the dropped chances hurt, particularly for a side that takes pride in its fielding standards. Adds that the preparation and work ethic have never been in question, but the challenge now is putting everything together when it matters. On bouncing back, Green stresses that the focus now is on remaining calm and backing their skills under pressure.
She details that the preparation and practice levels in camp have not dropped, and that the group simply needs to convert that work into execution when it counts. On her own development as a batter, Green underlines that the last few years have been about expanding her shot selection and being more expressive at the crease.
She adds that the number six position feels increasingly like her own, and her goal now is to own that role and finish games for New Zealand.
