Uitleg
"Prowess" refers to skill, ability or expertise, in a particular area (like sports, art, etc.), which makes it the best fit for showing the team's capabilities in a match.
Mettle refers to strength of character or determination, but prowess is a better choice to describe a team showing their skill in a match.
