Reflecting on the loss, he said:"To be honest, it is not one thing to place my finger on. We let ourselves down in the tournament. We knew the conditions will be in the bowler's favor, every single captain wins the toss and chooses to bowl first."On the road ahead for his side, Hope continued:"We need to look at the future and hope for the best and not rue at the past. Dropping catches and misfields happen, it's a part and parcel of the game but we must give our 100%. Our preparation from back home must be strong and if we get it right, we can go on and become big."
