Tie-breaks prove too tough for bowlers at world event

Debutantes Oabona Motladiile and Ivy Morton said they did well against top opponents, only to falter in tie-breakers. "I lost some of the games by tie-break. If I had won them, I could have made it to the top four but luck was not on my side. I believe my standard was almost at the same level as the other players that I played with. The standard of bowling in our country is not that far from other countries. We just need motivation and that will take us places," Motladiile said.

"I managed to win five sets and lost others through tie-break. We do not have enough competitions. We should have bowlers from other countries coming to play with us and that is the only way we can improve," Morton explained.
