Nida Dar (Pakistan Woman Captain): "Definitely, I would love to thank Allah. After a long we have managed to win a series against South Africa. We have the belief in us and if have that belief, then we can chase it down like we did today. I would credit my girls. Their intent is very attacking. I love the way our combination is setting up.
I know 150 is not chasable every day but I think it has been an incredible effort. Definitely, whole bowlers have been bowling well. Umme has been amazing. Even Nashra, even Sadia Iqbal, they bowled very well. Inshallah, why not."

Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa Woman Captain): "Yeah, if we look back and see now I think we were 10 more runs short. Credit is due where it is. Pakistan really played good cricket. We did not do well in our execution.
We had a decent powerplay but in the middle phase, against the spinners we are getting slow. We need to rotate the wickets against spinners. We have played good cricket in patches. Aya [Ayabonga Khaka] bowled really well today. We have a lot of positives, just take them and resurface for them. We have a lot of T20Is to play in the future.

Sidra Ameen (Player of the Match): "I wanted to hit maximum boundaries. I tried to make a pre-plan and thanks to both of them that the chase was done nicely. We are really working hard for it. The players need backup and push which we are getting from the sirs, the backstaffs.
The wicket in Karachi is a good one and chasing down 150 is a strong performance from the girls. There is a lot of hard work behind it. Also, courtesy of the ones who gave me the opportunity to do this. I hope to continue win matches for my team."

11:09 PM IST, 22:49 Local Time: Pakistan seals a historic series after chasing down a target of 151 runs on back-to-back occasions. There were tears in the last match after a win and today, there is aggression. It's a new look Pakistan Women's side under the leadership of Nida Dar and tell you what, they are dangerous.
The target was 151 once again just like the first Wt20I and the home team suffered an early blow as Shawaaz Zulfiqar departed inside the powerplay. The experienced Bismah Maroof stepped in at no. 3 and anchored the innings well with 27 off 26 balls.
Sidra Ameen on the other end played some flamboyant strokes which included a lot of reverse sweeps and scoops to notch up 61 runs off 44 deliveries. She acted as the bedrock for this chase and was cleaned up in a bizarre fashion in the 15th over.
The situation was very much similar to the last game. It came down to Muneeba Ali and Aliya Riaz who beautifully steered the run chase in their favour with five balls to spare. The duo relied on calculated risks and good running between the wickets. With some periodic boundaries, the equation curtailed to 12 needed off as many deliveries.
In the last game, Marizanne Kapp acted in this situation and allowed just three runs. But a change of mind from Captain Laura Wolvaardt meant Masabata Klaas leaked 11 runs. With one run to defend in the final over, Kapp was welcomed by the winning stroke off the bat of Aliya Riaz who roared up and unleashed yet another successful chase for the Women in Green.
Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony that follows.

Losing the toss and being forced to bat first, Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits gave a brilliant start to the Proteas Women. A few dropped catches and some watchful batting have helped the openers to tailor 74 runs for the first wicket.
The South African skipper whose roots are from Belgium was the first bite to be dusted falling for 41 off 34 deliveries. Nashra Sandhu outwitted her in the 11th over. Marizanne Kappe joined in and built a brisk partnership for the second wicket. The scoreboard was ticking off slowly and in an attempt to up the ante, Brits fell four runs shy of a half-century.
Marizanne Kapp was on the receiving end of a run out in the penultimate over and some late bursts from Nadine de Klerk (21* off 11) which included three fours in the final over boosted the total to 150 in 20 overs.
19.1 M Kapp to A Riaz
6 SIXXXXX!! Aliya Riaz!! Remember the Name!!! Full and outside the off from Marizanne Kapp. A slower one from her and Riaz picks it very early. She hacks it over the long on region off the sweet spot of the bat and helps the ball sail over the boundary ropes. Historic moment for them as they chase it down for the second consecutive time.
Marizanne Kapp to bowl the final over.
Pakistan is on the verge of creating history. It's that duo of Riaz and Ali again!!

0 Touch short outside the off. Riaz flipped across towards mid wicket for none.
18.4 M Klaas to A Riaz

18.3 M Klaas to A Riaz
2 Full and outside the off stump. Riaz swings hard at it and the ball falls short of the long off fielder who was rushing to her left. Kept it to a couple.
18.2 M Klaas to A Riaz
0 Slightly shorter in length than the previous one. Knocked it back to the bowler.
18.1 M Klaas to A Riaz
6 Masabata Klaas from over the wicket. High, High and Handsome!!! Full and in the slot from the bowler. In the off stump line, and Aliya Riaz tonks it down the ground over long off for a maximo. This seems to be a match-defining shot.
12 runs needed from the final 2 overs. The equation is very much similar to that of the previous Wt20I
