Player of the Match - Wiaan Mulder
Wiaan Mulder (Player of the Match): "I haven't played a Test match yet, so my goal is to focus on this series first. I've tried to play as much cricket as possible and always give my best while keeping things simple. I bowled wobble seam deliveries and managed to swing the ball. I'm pleased with my performance."
Player of the Series - Keshav Maharaj
Keshav Maharaj (Player of the Series): "Yeah it was up there as one of my favorite test matches. We as a transition phase in our team, we enjoyed a lot and there were a lot of positives to take away from this game.
Yeah as I have said, I really like to work on my basics and work hard in the practice games. Temba has always backed spin. I have played under him quite a number of times so yeah really happy with the way we played in this test series."

Kraigg Brathwaite (West Indies Captain): "We didn’t put up enough runs, and that was crucial in this game. It was quite similar to the first Test. The mindset was to show intent, but we couldn’t build partnerships.
There was some fight from Motie and the lower order, but we played some rash shots in the first innings, which proved crucial. We didn’t do enough to get ahead in the game, though we fought back well. The sky's the limit for us.
Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph have been exciting, and with the experienced Kemar Roach in the team, we have a strong bowling unit."

Temba Bavuma (South Africa Captain): "Yeah the emotions were a little bit up and down. At the end it was a proper test match cricket. Really glad that the weather held up in this venue. The bowlers did a phenomenal job to get us back in the game and at the end we came out victorious.
Yeah the guys have been brilliant as a unit. The batters lack a bit of experience but we will learn from here. Rabada has been leading the pace attack, Keshav has been brilliant too so everyone takes their own responsibilities.
Well I think we still haven't played our best cricket, as we keep playing more games, we will gain a lot of experience and become a better cricket side."
