Laura Wolvaardt collects the trophy and calls her teammates for the celebration. They are now posing for a photograph with the trophy.
Laura Wolvaardt(South Africa Women Captain): "Yes a perfect way to head to the world cup. Tough chase as the ball was getting slower and lower. I spoke with Bosch that the powerplay is very crucial for us in this chase. The heat is scorching and the chase was a tough one.
We have tried a different things ahead of the world cup. We gave the opportunities to a few youngsters and bowled them in some crucial overs. I think we are ready for the world cup."
Fatima Sana (Pakistan Women Captain): "Actually, we didn't take a few catches. Have to take catches to win games. I think the way our batters played, the intent they showed in the last few days, need same intent in the World Cup.
Yes, we are trying some pacers as well. I think we will play with two pacers in World Cup. If our team plays like this, my batting number is good. The intent is there so it is fine."
Sune Luus(Player of the Series):"Yeah experience helps a lot. I think we have a really good team with a perfect blend of experience and inexperience. I tried to hit the stumps and not to give rooms to the batters. Pakistan batters use their feet well so we tried to use the angle well to restrict them. I think when we get to play, we come up with a good team environment. The series win will help us ahead of the upcoming T20 World cup."
Player of the Series: Sune Luus
Annerie Dercksen (Player of the Match): "Yeah, I know that was I don't know what happened. But the one that went down the ground was my favorite shot.
I said before, ones were not in my mind today. Yeah, this is been really good prep for us. Dubai will be similar. Leading up to the World Cup this is a good series for us."
