Auckland Stand-in captain Amy Satterthwaite on Sunday known as New Zealands one-wicket loss to England as “gut-wrenching”, admitting that their batting lacked a killer intuition and has allow them to down within the ongoing 2022 ICC Ladies’s Cricket World Cup.

Satterthwaite, one of many skilled gamers within the staff, took over the reins from ordinary skipper Sophie Devine after she injured her again whereas batting and was unable to subject earlier than Satterthwaite’s spouse Lea Tahuhu pulled up with a hamstring damage.

Of their absence, Frankie Mackay stepped up and took career-best figures of 4 for 34 to drag England again into a good contest when chasing a sub-par 204 after New Zealand had suffered their very own batting collapse, shedding eight for 69.

Nat Sciver’s 61 from 108 balls proved essential as No. 11 Anya Shrubsole went on to hit the successful runs to earn one other last-gasp victory for defending champions England that saved their very own World Cup hopes alive. The loss has put hosts New Zealand getting ready to being knocked out of the event.

“It’s by no means a pleasant place to be in while you’re counting on different outcomes and I feel coming into immediately, we felt like we nonetheless had it in our management. It’s fairly gut-wrenching to get that shut and never fairly recover from the road and really feel such as you’re standing on the sting of the cliff, borderline out of the competitors,” stated Satterthwaite within the post-match press convention.

With Tahuhu and Devine off the sector, Brooke Halliday was known as on to bowl, taking her maiden worldwide wicket to dismiss Amy Jones earlier than Sophia Dunkley’s departure sparked a collapse of 5 wickets for 20 runs.

Regardless of shifting only one wicket away from a well-known win, the White Ferns couldn’t recover from the road and Satterthwaite cited the lack of two key gamers and their lower-order batting as key points.

Notably, New Zealand had put up totals of over 250 every time they batted towards India of their latest bilateral sequence earlier than the World Cup however they might not step up as soon as the massive event arrived.

“The irritating half is I actually felt that we turned a nook towards India within the sequence earlier than this event as a bunch and we began to place some constant totals on the board round that type of 260/270 [mark] and everybody was taking part in their position beautifully,” she stated.

“We’ve clearly had some issues not go our means immediately with the likes of Sophie’s damage, we’ve clearly misplaced Lauren Down coming into this event. However I nonetheless again the those who have been on this line-up to provide greater scores than what now we have been and I feel generally we presumably get a bit of bit forward of ourselves and suppose we want greater than we do,” she added.

The left-handed batter additionally talked concerning the lack of partnerships within the ongoing World Cup.

“If I examine from the India sequence to this marketing campaign, it’s the partnerships. Towards India we talked quite a bit about producing large partnerships: 100-run and match-winning partnerships, and if we glance again throughout our World Cup video games, I don’t know the numbers on high of my head, however there can’t be too many 80-90-100-plus partnerships.

“We in all probability acquired began and didn’t actually have that sort of killer intuition, and like I stated, take it to these large partnerships that may have put us in a very robust place to permit our center to decrease order to essentially launch,” she stated.

“We’ll mirror on the event sooner or later and if we’re trustworthy, batting is the factor that permit us down essentially the most and with the ball actually tried to maintain us within the event and we fought extraordinarily laborious and we will be actually pleased with that. However placing up scores of 200-220-odd towards world-class opposition sadly will not be sufficient and we wanted to discover a technique to get greater totals on the board,” she added.

Requested concerning the replace on Leah and Sophie’s damage, Satterthwaite stated that she hasn’t spoken to them very a lot after the sport.

“I haven’t spoken to them very a lot after the sport, I feel each of them are common however we’ll see within the subsequent couple of days and we’re lucky we’ve acquired 5 days earlier than our subsequent recreation, so we will see how they’re earlier than that final one,” she stated.
