said, there is room for improvement as well," Aguilleira said. Reflecting on yesterday's match, Aguilleira said the toss was crucial as the team batting first had won all the day night matches. "The toss, we know that all the teams that have batted first have won all the day-night matches. Losing the toss was really crucial for us but we knew that we had to go out there and apply ourselves. "Our main bowler Tremayne (Smartt), she really bowled well throughout the tournament but she didn't get the start. We tried, but it didn't happen," she said. Asked why she didn't utilise the services of Deandra Dottin in the bowling department, the Aguilleira said, "Well Deandra has got a groin injury so that was one of the reasons why we didn't bowl her, because we were saving her in the lines of batting. We didn't want to risk anything. Despite the asking rate being high, Aguilleira said at one stage they could have chased down the total if they had managed to see off pacer Elysse Perry, who wrecked the top order and finished with three for 19. "The main thing was to try to see off Perry and Lisa (Sthalekar) as well. I believed we could attack the other bowlers with the likes of Deandra coming in. "With the run rate at seven-eight, we could still get it. That was the plan but it didn't really work out. We just have to continue working hard," she said.
