Temba Bavuma (South Africa Captain): "We were under the pump from the first ball, and we did not have any answers. They made it look like a very good surface, which it was. In terms of assessing and being able to adjust to the conditions, we were poor, but it was a good learning curve, and it's not every day you have to chase done 430+. We can only get better from here.

Not close at the moment, we were speaking about this, and we did not play to a 100%. It's good to come out on top in the series, but we are still making mistakes in all departments. We do have time before the World Cup, and there is room for us to get better."

Mitchell Marsh (Australia Captain): "Yeah, it was a pretty crazy day. Full performance from the lads. Shame it was a bit too late. But, yeah full credit to South Africa, they were too good for us in the first two games. 

Today was just coming out and trying to win this game. You never want to be clean swept especially at home. So, important day for us. It is a pleasure to bat at the other end when Head is going great like that. Cam Green was outstanding. Nice to finish the series with a win.

Yeah, nice Cooper picked up his first fifer, he was really happy with that. Anytime you get young guys in and they perform well is always great."

Tema Bavuma and co. line up with the winners' banner and lift the trophy! A quick team photo and the celebrations can begin!
