So, that's it from this game where the hosts South Africa managed to win the game and clinch the series with a game to spare. Both teams will be back in action on Sunday at Durban. Do join us for that game and for all other fixtures around the globe across formats, stick around to the network. For now, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Deepak Prakash alongside scorer/analyst Ghanendra Singh Thakur. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!
Lea Tahuhu became the first New Zealand Woman cricketer to complete 100 wickets in WODIs.
Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa Women Captain and Player of the Match): "Really happy with the knock and great to get the win. It's right up there and it helped the team win, So, I am happy. The partnership with Sune and Kapp helped us win the game and made it easy for us. I think we started well with the ball and did not allow them to get off to a fast start. I think Mlaba bowled well as well. Still a lot to play for us. Championship points up for grabs. We will go there and try and get the win. Thank You."
Sophie Devine (New Zealand Women Captain): "Yeah, look, but there's still plenty of positives to take out of it. I thought Amelia was fantastic with the bat and a late flourish by Tahuhu. And then with the ball, I thought we started well again, taking early wickets, but we're completely outplayed there with Laura Wolvaardt and Marizanne Kapp. So, look, full credit to South Africa today.
I thought we lost too many wickets in clusters. I thought we missed too much in the field. And I thought bowling, we were poor, we were short and wide, and we know against a team like this that you can't afford to do that. So look across all areas. I thought we were pretty poor, but still lots of positives to take out of it."
