Commentary

And with that, we, the trio of Pratyush, Sooryanarayanan and Rajarshi bid adieu for the day, having completed our cricketing coverage. Plenty of men's international cricketing action to come tomorrow, alongside a lot more, so do keep an eye on our tabs as we look forward to bringing you cricket matches from around the globe. Good night!

Danni Wyatt is the Player of the Match. Here's what she has to say: We enjoyed batting out there on a really nice wicket but the credit has to go to the bowlers. Just really happy to contribute today. It was set up nicely on that wicket. We just had to play well and knew that the runs would come if we do that. I'm always trying to get better. We're always looking to improve and keep getting better and better. We've got some youngsters coming through and there's a lot of talent in the country. (On Dunkley) She's been in beast mode at the moment and hits the ball a long way. We've got a lot of cricket coming up. Great signs for us and let's hope that continues.

Natalie Sciver, England captain: We had different challenges thrown at us today when we bowled, we did a great job of dragging things back. Not one of my best moments (her dropped catch off Katherine Brunt's bowling), unfortunately, we (her and Brunt) might have to talk about it a bit further later today, but I'm happy! I don't believe it sometimes (how well Brunt has been doing in the recent past) for her to be the leading wicket-taker now is really really special and she can create something dramatic. Having that fire in our bowling attack is something that once she retires, we're going to miss. I think just being relentless with our attacking mindset, we didn't take a wicket until the second half of our bowling innings in this game, so I think maybe a bit of execution, keep that positive intent, make sure we can do it when we're under pressure again.

Sune Luus, South Africa captain: (On her catch) We needed something special in the field to turn things around and luckily, it stuck. We spoke about the openers giving us the platform. They (the openers) did well. That's the confidence they needed to get themselves into the game. In every game, you can find positives. Today it was Laura and Anneke's performances as well as a couple of overs. When you play a quality side like England, the fielding and catching are crucial. As the old saying goes - catches win matches. That's something we have to touch up on.

Match summary:
England won the toss and opted to bowl

South Africa 1st Innings 148/6 (20 Overs)
Anneke Bosch 61(57), Sarah Glenn 2/27 (4 overs)

England 151/4 (19 Overs)
Natalie Sciver 47(41), Ayabonga Khaka 1/10 (3 overs)

England win by 6 wickets with 6 balls to spare.

Despite England's power-packed line-up, 149 was going to be a bit of a tricky chase. Two quiet overs at the start did give an inkling of the same, but Sophia Dunkley teed off in the following over off Masabata Klaas itself. Klaas went for 18 in her first five deliveries, it seemed like we were in for a deja vu, but then Dunkley held out at long-on to give the South African a new scent - a Dunkleyless England batting line-up to defend a target against!

Ayabonga Khaka, who single-handedly kept South Africa in the game in their previous encounter, broke a brief stand between Danni Wyatt and Bryony Smith, dismissing the latter by trapping her in front. The experienced duo of Natalie Sciver and Wyatt got together, and they set about shortening down the target over after over.

It needed something remarkable on the field to break this partnership, and Sune Luus led by example when she ran a good few yards to her right and leaped across to take a splendid catch. Amy Jones came to the middle, played with gusto, found the deliveries to attack and gradually took the game away from the visitors, who kept things tight before the England wicket-keeper's arrival.

Sciver was run out backing up towards the end, but Maia Bouchier walked in and finished the game off with ease. England will have another game to play before heading into the Commonwealth Games, which they can use as a practise game for the big event.

No pressure at all for Maia Bouchier! She finishes the game with flair, England clinch the T20I series with one game left to play! South Africa fought, but they failed to take the half-chances, bowled too many loose deliveries in crucial junctures, and that was were they lagged behind today!

18.6 Shabnim Ismail to Maia Bouchier, FOUR! SIGNED, SEALED, AND DELIVERED IN STYLE! Another one banged in short into the body, Bouchier picks it early and pulls it behind square to end proceedings with a boundary. England win by 6 wickets and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in this three-match series.

18.5 Shabnim Ismail to Amy Jones, dug it in short this time, hurrying Jones into a pull. The top edge ballons over the bowler's head and lands right between mid-on and mid-off, allowing a single

18.4 Shabnim Ismail to Maia Bouchier, back of a length angling into the right-hander, tucked to deep mid-wicket for one

18.3 Shabnim Ismail to Maia Bouchier, FOUR! Slower one but it's at a back of a length, sitting up nicely for Bouchier. Makes some room and hacks this up and over mid-on to find the boundary

18.2 Shabnim Ismail to Maia Bouchier, short and outside the off-stump this time, Bouchier steps out and crunches her slap towards cover. Excellent commitment by Klaas to put in the dive, dot ball

18.1 Shabnim Ismail to Maia Bouchier, right into the block hole at middle stump, Bouchier backs away and manages to jam this out to Wolvaardt at cover-point, no run

Maia Bouchier, right-handed bat, comes to the crease

Shabnim Ismail (3-0-18-0) is back into the attack

Has the breakthrough come a tad late? South Africa needed a lucky break and break the stand, but the target is down to single figures now with two overs to play. Jones improvised a reverse sweep against the pacer in the over that got them the boundary which helped them pull further clear.

1 /39

17.6 Masabata Klaas to Amy Jones, RUN OUT! Sciver's reaction suggests she might be in trouble. Yorker that's dug back out towards Klaas, who got a hand on it. The lucky deflection rolls onto the stumps at the non-striker's end, finding Sciver stranded out of her crease. A fortunate breakthrough for South Africa but you'd reckon it's a bit too late.

Natalie Sciver run out (Masabata Klaas) 47 (41b 6x4)

17.5 Masabata Klaas to Natalie Sciver, full to angle it into the right-hander, Sciver manages to squeeze this out through her legs for a single at deep square leg

17.4 Masabata Klaas to Natalie Sciver, FOUR! Searching for the yorker and there's not much wrong with that delivery. Just excellent batting form Sciver as she brings out the cheeky reverse to place it past short third man for a boundary
