A dominant performance from Australia across all three matches as they complete a clean sweep of the T20I series. Tahlia McGrath now collects the series trophy and heads towards her teammates for the celebratory photos.
Tahlia McGrath (Australia Women Captain): "Yeah, itās a great feeling to walk away with a 3-0 win. Finishing a long season on a high is really satisfying, and weāre all looking forward to a well-earned break.
Yeah, we're fully committed to our style of play and want to keep playing that way. I thought we were outstanding with the bat throughout the series. With the ball, we missed our length a bit today, and there's still some room for improvement in the field, but overall, we're very happy.
Weāre committed to debriefing games and continuously improving. We're always looking for ways to get better and push the game forward. Our next focus is fine-tuning things as we set our sights on the ODI World Cup.
Yeah, it's a well-earned break. Heading home tomorrow to enjoy some time off, and then, as I said, weāll return with our focus fully on the ODI World Cup."

Suzie Bates (New Zealand Women Captain): "Yeah, absolutely. Look, we asked for a more competitive performance. With the ball, we bowled in better areas. With the bat as well did well. We dropped a few catches, they say catches win you matches and we let ourselves down in the field today.
It is just the learning, the intensity with which we field. When the ball comes at you in the deep and with the crowd cheering you on, it can get a bit tough.
(On youngsters) Just proud of how they have come up. This is what we talked about, being fearless with the bat. Proud of how we went about with the bat and with the ball, we bowled well in the powerplay.
(On Australia) Just the all-round standard of their team. The athleticism, they've got players playing in franchise leagues all over the league. We want to be at that level as well.
Really exciting 50-over World Cup in India, one of the most challenging places to play cricket. There will be a decent break, hopefully the girls can take their minds off and be ready for upcoming cricket."

Beth Mooney (Player of the Series): "Yeah, I think so. It doesnāt happen too often in T20 cricket, so you cherish these games and series. I think we built a nice partnership at the top with Georgia Voll. The way she strikes the ball makes me want to play like that too. So, yeah, it was great to contribute.
Georgia has been knocking on the door for a few years with her performances in domestic cricket back home. Iāve seen glimpses of her behind the scenes, and the way she strikes the ball is incredible. To see her slot straight into this Australian team and continue doing what she does best has been amazing to watch. She clearly didnāt want me facing too many balls today since I didnāt get much of the strike! But yeah, she batted beautifully, and itās a sign of exciting things to come for this Australian team.
I think we're highly competitive and well-resourced. We have an incredible support staff working tirelessly behind the scenes to help us. Thereās a great balance between working hard and enjoying our cricket while constantly finding new ways to stay competitiveāboth among ourselves and on the field representing Australia. We're fortunate to have a strong pipeline of talented players who step up in big series and crucial moments. Hopefully, that continues for a long time."
