10.58pm: Jubilation for the visitors, who do the previously unthinkable - whitewash South Africa on home soil. Pakistan have good pedigree, having twice won ODI series here, but this is the next level. Mohammad Rizwan is at the centre of the celebrations as the Pakistan support staff come out to congratulate the team. Their preparations for the Champions Trophy are going swimmingly, having also won in Australia last month; but for South Africa, even considering the injuries they are carrying, there'll be some soul-searching, no doubt

Saim Ayub is Player of the Match and Series: "It's very special because we won. Credit to all the team. This award is for all for the team. They all helped me to get this award. As a young player, I try to learn from every game. Seniors help me a lot to learn from every game."

South Africa captain, Temba Bavuma: "Disappointing end to the series. We've come out with more questions than answers. There will have to be deep introspection for all of us individually and then for us as a unit. Klassie was the shining light. He was batting on a different pitch to all of us. He has really shone as a batter and shown why he has been held in such high regard. We'll be donning the whites again in a couple of days so its important that we deal with any negative emotions we have and make sure we are ready to take them on in the red-ball."

Pakistan captain, Mohammad Rizwan: "Always a proud moment for the nation. As a team we believe in hard work and leave it to Allah. If you look at the whole team, it's been a whole team effort. It's not easy to play in South Africa. But we are all together and we believe in each other and trust each other. He [Saim] is exceptional and hopefully he will do more for Pakistan."

Right, that's a wrap, but we'll have follow-ups from our correspondents, Firdose Moonda and Danyal Rasool. For now, go check out Firdose's report, and then start gearing up for the Test series, which has the small matter of South Africa's WTC final hopes riding on it. Thanks for keeping us company, from myself, Miller and the scorers, it's goodnight and season's best! Cheerio

Sufiyan Muqeem to Maphaka, OUT, bowled 'im! The perfect delivery to the No. 11 and Muqeem has sealed the deal on 3-0 for Pakistan! Fired full on off, it dipped under Maphaka's tentative prod and rattled off stump. Muqeem finishes with four-for on debut, as Pakistan win by 36 runs on DLS

Sufiyan Muqeem to Rabada, OUT, thumped full on the front pad - given! Rabada reviews but this only has to be clipping, and it didn't have far to go. Pitching on leg, straightening a touch, hit on the shin. No inside edge involved: clattering leg stump! Nitin Menon's finger goes up again and Rabada is a goner
