That's all from our side for this game. See you soon.

Anneke Bosch: "It feels like a deja vu. To do it again is unbelievable. [She was Player of the Match in the final ODI as well] Sune and I were trying to keep the required rate under seven. That was the plan. I don't mind the captain didn't give me more than two overs. I am happy."

Sune Luus: "[A perfect game?] There is always something we can improve on. It was nice to restrict them because at one stage it looked like they would post 140-150. Also, it was nice to see Anneke getting her maiden fifty. It's a high-scoring ground and we would have been happy with them getting 140. Think we did really well today."

Smriti Mandhana: "[on her injury] At the moment it looks better, let's see. At the end of the 18th over, I realised we were about ten runs short. But I would like to say Simran bowled really well. Harleen had that good knock. Jemi and Shafali, the future looks good. The next game is in 24 hours, so we need to buck up."

9.55pm A brilliant knock from Anneke Bosch, scoring an unbeaten 66 off 48 balls, as South Africa chased down 131 with eight wickets and five balls to spare. They go 1-0 up in the three-match series, outplaying India in all departments but mainly in fielding. Sune Luus, the stand-in captain, gave good company to Bosch; the two added 90 in 81 balls. Luus fell for 43 off 49 but Bosch and Wolvaardt ensured South Africa crossed the line without further hiccups.
