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!

England win by 6 wickets and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in this three-match series.
