So, that is it from me, Karthik Raj and my co-commentators, Akshay Bhide and Arjun Bhalla. Join OneCricket's live coverage of the SA vs ENG ODI series too
Eoin Morgan | England captain: Extremely pleasing. At the half-way stage, we probably got it wrong at the toss, thinking that it would be a slow low-scoring wicket, but clearly it wasn't. In the second-half of our bowling we missed out quite a lot and credit to the SA batting line-up. Given the way the wicket got better, Dawid and Jos managed to win the game in such a commanding fashion, that instills a lot of confidence in the changing room. There are a lot of questions asked when you're not doing well, and to be able to chase a total like that given that we didn't get off to a flier, these are encouraging signs. The batting was outstanding, the bowling was a bit off, and the two games before were hard and scraping. The bowling was good in the last game, so we were always striving for a good collective performance is important and that's what we are looking at. There are a large group of guys who have been practising only 50-over cricket and the others know their roles, and I'm sure there will be a hard-fought series ahead.
Quinton de Kock | RSA captain: It's disappointing, but they blew us away and played better cricket than us today. I thought they played really well, and put our bowlers under a lot of pressure. They played clever cricket and we couldn't really stop them. I think we are not playing as badly as the perception is, we're still getting together and up against the English first up was always going to be tough. We are still confident but it's just unfortunate that this series didn't go our way. Some fresh faces have done alright, and hopefully they will do well in the future.
Dawid Malan | Player of the Match | Player of the Series: Very happy that the last two innings I wasn't hitting as well as I'd like, but this time I really got some momentum. The wicket played really well and that was to my advantage. Jos started really, credit to him, but it was skidding really nicely onto the bat and it was a lot of fun to play. Jos didn't start as quickly as he would have liked but I had the momentum and took the pressure off of him, and that ebbed and flowed over the course of the partnership. I play the same way everytime, sometimes it comes off and sometimes it doesn't. I have the power and it's just about applying myself. I honestly should've known about the hundred, I did, but I went for the single either way. MAYBE I should go back to math class.
Comments from the players:
So, that is it as England wrap up the T20I series by 3-0 margin. This is the third time that England are winning with such a margin. The chase didn't start well as Jason Roy got out in the fourth over. However, Dawid Malan and Jos Buttler joined together to form a 167-run partnership. They didn't let go of any bowler or any part of the ground as the pair helped England reach 56 runs at the end of the Powerplay. Even after that, the duo continued to attack a couple of bowlers in Lutho Sipamla and Tabraiz Shamsi. In the end, Malan missed a well-deserved 100 by one run but he wouldn't be too bothered after helping England seal a comfortable win. Jos Buttler was also amazing with 67 runs off 46 balls
Arjun- Malan tries to collect a double but some great fielding work at covers keeps him down to 99 in the end. I guess, he didn't knew about the milestone. Nevertheless, England takes the T20I series 3-0. What a hard fought series, it has been!
17.4 Lutho Sipamla to Dawid Malan
1 Would you believe it? Malan remains not out on 99. What have you done Dawid Malan? A perfect yorker on the stumps, digs it out to covers and scampers for a quick single. There was a mis-field but Buttler had run way across the line at the other end. So he remains not out on 99
Arjun- The scores are level and Malan is on 98. This is going to a story to tell.
17.3 Lutho Sipamla to Dawid Malan
4 FOUR!!!! He needs 2 for a century and they need 1 to win. Full around off and Malan lifts this over covers for a boundary
17.3 Lutho Sipamla to Dawid Malan
WD Bowls a wide yorker way outside the tram line. Wide signaled
Arjun- Superb stroke! England and Malan both need 6 more.
17.2 Lutho Sipamla to Dawid Malan
