That's all from this game. Do join us for the next match. Good night.

Smriti Mandhana is player of the match: I'm really happy that we won the match and I could contribute. I'm really happy that we got a hundred-plus-run win; nothing can get better than that. It's really been a task in the last 4/5 net sessions that you play grounded shots, as we have played a lot of T20s. Today as well, it was just about playing the situation. We lost a few wickets in the middle, so we had to build a partnership. Credit goes to Deepti and Pooja, as they kept the scoreboard moving.

Harmanpreet Kaur: It's definitely a good start, and it was a great team performance. The message was very clear: just be there and keep backing yourself. We have a long batting line-up; we have at least six batters who can bat for 50 overs. I know in a game everyone can't contribute; only two or three players are going to take the team ahead. I think today Smriti and Pooja did that work. We already discussed that we are going with five bowlers, and maybe myself, Hemalatha, or Shafali might come and bowl a few overs when required. [On Pooja Vastrakar's injury] I hope she's fine and not that bad. It was great for me that I got a few overs to bowl for the team.

Laura Wolvaardt: Obviously, this is not the ideal way to start the series. I think there are a few positives, however. I thought it was a very decent score. I thought one person needed to bat through; was a very chaseable target. I think the bowlers did pretty well; as I said, 265 was not too bad. We just lost our way with the bat. We had the batting line up to fix whatever had gone wrong earlier. But being 30 for 3 was not ideal.

A comprehensive victory for India. South Africa kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were never able to put up a partnership. Sune Luus was the top scorer with 33 runs. Asha Sobhana was the pick of the bowlers with four wickets. India leads the 3-match series 1-0.

Sobhana to Khaka, OUT, and that's the final wicket! India won by 143 runs. Slightly short and angling down the leg side, Khaka tries to pull it off the back foot, gets a top edge and a simple catch held by Richa.
