That's it from this game then! The attention now shifts to the longer format. That begins on the 28th of this month. It starts at 0930 IST (0430 GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care!
Harmanpreet Kaur says the last two camps gave them a lot of confidence. Credit goes to the bowlers who have been outstanding. Adds the bowlers are improving day by day. Ends by saying they're looking forward for the Test.
Player of the series, Smriti Mandhana says she was unfortunate to miss out on a ton. Those kind of shots come off at times and you need to back yourself. Adds it is about applying yourself. She's looking forward for the other games.
Deepti Sharma the player of the game says she really enjoyed bowling and they executed their plans well. Adds she tries to bowl according to the situation and always backs herself.
Laura Wolvaardt says they did not have enough runs on the board. They had a good start but lost far too many wickets in the between. Adds they needed 300. Mentions they neee to be a lot more consistent. Ends by saying she's looking forward for the Test.
Arundhati Reddy says she hasn't been great with taking catches of her own bowling. Adds she was got in to break the stand and she stuck to the plans. Mentions the wicket was on the slower side and was holding a bit.
India bowled well throughout. Sharma, Reddy ended with two wickets each while Reddy and Vastrakar took one wicket but overall all were on the economical side. With bat, it was yet again the Mandhana show. After two successive tons she was on the road to notch another one but no lt so be as she fell on 90. However, the job was then till then as Kaur architect the finishing touches and helped India comfortably win the match.
South Africa were under par with the bat. Despite winning the toss they didn’t make most of the conditions. Wolvaardt was the only one with an half-century. She played well but South Africa kept losing wickets regularly which didn’t help them as they lost the momentum.
Yet another convincing win for India and its 3-0 for them. Not the show we expected from the tourist as there were still championship points to play for but they go home empty handed.
