Commentary

This is it from our end of this clash between England Women and South African Women, but cricket never ends on CREX. Keep visiting us for riveting cricketing action.

Till then, this is me Arjun Bhalla signing off the behalf of my colleagues - Karthik Raj and Chandan Kumar Singh. Tata, bye bye!!

Heather Knight and her girls lift the trophy as they beat South Africa 3-nil in this three-game T20I series.

Heather Knight (England Captain): "Really pleased with the performances from the girls. Honestly, we have moved on from the heartbreak during the World Cup. We have had a long chat, and the coach and I have also discussed it. We were brilliant today, we wanted to aggressive with out play and out field changes as well. Hopefully, we can take this confidence into the ODIs."

Chloe Tryon (South Africa Captain): "We were completely outplayed today. We have got a lot of youngsters coming in, good opportunity for them. They have been playing a lot of good domestic cricket. Unfortunately, it didn't go our way but lot of learnings from the series. We will reflect on this series and take the positives out of it. (About the new head coach, Mandla Mashimbyi) Chill guy, been nice having him in the dressing room."

Nat Sciver-Brunt (Player of the Series): "It is really important to get off the mark nicely in a three-match series, we didn't get off the mark well three years ago. I am enjoying batting here in South Africa, but I am also loving my bowling. I love the role I have and am swinging the new cherry. Looking forward to the ODI series after this series win."

Player of the Series: Nat Sciver-Brunt

Charlie Dean (Player of the Match): "The pacers took wickets in the Powerplay, that set us up nicely. I am coming into my own of late. Feeling more confident and trying to take more wickets. I feel lucky to be bowling alongside Sophie Ecclestone and Glenny (Sarah Glenn). We are on the plane tomorrow and will be onto it. ODIs is probably my favourite format, so looking forward to that."

Time for Post Match Presentation

12:03 AM IST and 8:34 PM Local | Winning runs from Danielle Nicole Wyatt-Hodge, and she does it in style to complete her 50 in just 31 balls. England Women have toppled the home team, South Africa, by nine wickets in the third T20I to win the series by a margin of three-zero.

After winning the toss, the tourists asked the South Africans to bat first. The top order failed to deliver against England's top guns. The Proteas women lost four of their wickets inside the powerplay at the score of 42, which soon became 45/5.

However, Nadine de Klerk and Nondumiso Shangase revived the SA innings with their courageous effort with the bat. The duo shared 52 runs for the sixth wicket, helping the side go past the 100-run mark. Eventually, South Africa were toppled for 124.

Charlie Dean and Lauren Bell were the pick of the bowlers, taking three and two wickets, respectively.

Later in the chase, the English opener of Maia Bouchier and Danielle Nicole Wyatt-Hodge gave the side a perfect foundation with their 56-run partnership. After Bouchier’s dismissal, Sophia Dunkley came out in a positive mode and smashed the bowlers in all corners of the park.

Both Wyatt-Hodge (53*) and Dunkley (24*) got a couple of chances during their blitz. But they never gave up and stitched an unbeaten 72-run stand as the tourists won the game by nine wickets and 51 balls to spare.
