Ashwell Prince - Lack of partnerships against New Zealand

Loading player...
New Zealand are off the mark in the T20 International Tri-Series in Harare following a 21-run win over South Africa.
The Black Caps batted first and posted 173/5 in their allotted 20 overs, with Tim Robinson top-scoring with an unbeaten 75 off 57 balls, while Bevon Jacobs contributed 44* off 30.
In reply, South Africa got off to a fast start, but a lack of partnerships and poor shot selection saw them bowled out for 152 with 10 balls to spare.
Dewald Brevis was South Africa's top scorer with 35 off 18 deliveries.
Proteas batting coach Ashwell Prince said the lack of partnerships hurt them in the game.
