Australia win by five wickets and take the T20I series 2-1, also earning a 4-2 lead in the multiformat series. South Africa fought hard but little moments cost them. Beth Mooney was magnificent in the chase and Ash Gardner found her touch with the bat to see it home. It's been a very competitive series. Will be interesting to see how South Africa go in the other two formats
Beth Mooney is player of the match: "Didn't get off to a great start at 4am. Spent the next six or seven hours very unwell. Not until about 3 o'clock did I think I was playing. I was no good most of the day, but once I stepped on the field by competitive instincts came out. [Was about] being really clear in my plans. Thankfully it came off tonight."
Laura Wolvaardt "Would have loved to get over the line today. Felt we batted very well, got to a decent total, recovered really nicely. Kappy was exceptional. Looked like she was batting on road. Left 10-15 out there. Bit hard to defend. Really nice having an extended tour and hopefully those games can be as competitive
Alyssa Healy "We got the win, that's the most important thing. Ash and Grace did a great job to get us over the line. Feels like [Beth] does it all the time. We just wanted to be a little better in every area. Was a beautiful batting wicket, tidied up a few areas. We made a couple of changes, want to keep things fresh and keep evolving. Looking forward to the one-day format."
I'll wrap things up there for tonight. A good T20 series. We now moved into the ODIs with the first game on Saturday. Before that, the men's ODI series between Australia and West Indies starts on Friday. We'll be back for all that. For now, from Gnasher, it's goodbye.

taken at backward point! Advancing down the pitch, drives with an open face and it's a simple catch. But it's probably come too late
