WI vs SA | We keep making same mistakes over and again, rues Kieron Pollard

At one stage, West Indies were 65 for 1 in the chase of 169 after seven overs and looked good to hunt down the target and the series. However, pretty much as it has happened in the series, another collapse ensured that they were reduced to 110-5 from 65-1 and eventually fell short by 25 runs. Kieron Pollard and Andre Russell failed with the bat while Shimron Hetmyer and Nicholas Pooran got starts but couldn't make much of it. Windies' struggles against Tabraiz Shamsi continued with the wrist-spinner finishing with figures of 1/11, bowling at an ER 2.80.

Quinton de Kock was in brilliant form throughout the series and continued his great run of form as he blazed through to 60 off 42 in the fifth T20I. For West Indies, the bowling trio of Obed McCoy, Dwayne Bravo and Kevin Sinclair did a decent job in the series, something that Pollard acknowledged.

He also added that the team would look to try out different players in wake of the series loss and want to have personnel who can show how much it matters to them.

"We need to look at some of the guys because of what transpired. We want people to show it matters. I like to deal with the present. This series is done, the World Cup is two months away, so let's not plan too far ahead and deal with what's ahead of us."
