Sorenson questioned the poor leadup results and was told that the players were affected through being deliberately overloaded in training.
"The good thing is they didn't fall apart - failures can expose cracks but I understand they stuck together really well," he said.
"The biggest focus is around pitching and the challenge for the coaches is how they handle those guys. The emphasis on power hitting these days means we might see different pitchers used in different situations like baseball does.
"I'm only speculating, but they might tell one pitcher his job is to get these three guys out. We do have good pitchers but not a dominant one like Kevin Herlihy, Michael White or Chubb Tangaroa any more."
Sorenson's dream final would be the Black Sox seeking revenge against Australia which would also draw the greatest public attention because of the transtasman factor.
"You can never be over-confident in sport these days and it will be about how they build as a team during the week."
