South Africa head coach Mark Boucher says missing out on the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup due to an inferior net run-rate was a bitter pill to swallow.
South Africa emerged as a strong contender to qualify for the semi-finals as the tournament progressed, but despite winning four of their five matches, the Proteas failed to make the top four.
