However, the New South Welshman was confident in his team’s ability to buck the frustrating trend at the earliest.

“But we’ll dive into this game and, you know, probably more so when we get back to Bangalore and really go through in detail and with a fine tooth comb and come up with a few ideas of where we can learn and improve.

“I think the bowling definitely improved from the last two outings. So sort of we’re slowly getting there, but probably not quick enough,” he said.

Hazlewood had a word of advice to his colleagues in the batting front — step back for a moment and try to assess the conditions before going for big shots.

“So, maybe, it might be a case of pulling back a touch and giving yourself a little bit of time. I know in the first two games we lost here it was a batter on the other team going big and getting a partnership and scoring big late in the game.

“So if we can have our top five, top six doing the batting for the 20 overs, I think that’ll go a long way to helping us win,” he explained.
