Harmanpreet Kaur (India Women Captain): [on better performance with the bat] "Yeah definitely. With the bat we were really good. Score wasn't that bad. We should give credit to South Africa batters, the way they batted, they didn't give us a single chance to come back in the game. Even though we missed out a few chances. I still feel the way they were batting, we didn't have any second answer for them.
[on where they missed out] We were looking to pick some wickets in the powerplay and get some momentum but unfortunately the first 6 overs were quite expensive. As a bowling unit we need to think. Batting didn't work in the first 2 games but in the bowling we are not putting ourself. As a bowling group we really need to work hard. If we have to keep doing well in the future. Lot of learnings for us and we'll learn and try to get better in the next games.
[on feeling after her knock] It's always good to get a few runs for the team and really happy to contribute when it was needed the most. When you win you feel okay and happy but it didn't help the team to win the game today. As a batter quite happy the way I was batting and I hope to continue that.
[on the 4th T20I] We have to stick to our plans, keep doing what the team needs to win the matches and hopefully we will come up with better plans on Saturday."

Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa Women Captain & POTM): "[How did she feel while batting?] It was lots of fun. We knew we had to get a good start chasing 190. The wicket was flat in the second innings. Just keep going post the powerplay and was happy to bat through.
[When did she realize that it was a good wicket to bat on?] I probably realized very early that it was a good wicket to bat on. The ball was sliding on nicely. We got 70-odd in the powerplay. Sune batted pretty well as well.
[Chat while batting with Luus] I think we kept each other calm out there. It's a new territory for us to post 70-odd in the powerplay. The message to each other was simple. It was to keep going. We have firepower in the dugout. Just keep going and it paid off today.
[Where is the team at the moment?] We are in a really good space. We bowled pretty well as well. We are improving each game as well. It is a good surface and we have been getting the better of tosses to bat second. We have to make sure that we post good total on the board if we bat first. That's why these five-game series are important.
[Will we see any changes in the last two games?] We'll see. I think we have obviously won the series. With the World Cup in mind, I think there will be a couple. Really proud of the group for winning the series."

A run feast at Johannesburg as 385 runs are scored in 36.2 overs. A magnificent ton from Laura Wolvaardt, three batters scoring in 60s across both the sides and a hapless day for the bowlers. South Africa get an unassailable 3-0 lead in the 5-match series with the 4th game set to be played this Saturday at the same venue.
