WATCH | Shafali Verma's Billigerent Knock of 60 off 30 balls, Smriti Mandhana's Unbeaten 48 off 28

Openers Shafali Verma (60, 30 balls, 7x4s, 5x6s) and captain Smriti Mandhana 48 not out (28 balls, 9x4s) guided India to victory with nine overs to spare against South Africa at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, as the hosts picked up a consolation win after conceding the series.

After Smriti won the toss and chose to bowl, she opened the bowling with pacer Arundhati Reddy and Rajeshwari. While Arundhati bagged just one wicket, Rajeshwari even bowled a maiden and finished with brilliant figures of 4-1-9-3. The top scorer for South Africa was their captain Sune Luus, who scored 28 off 25 (3x4s).

In reply, Shafali and Smriti provided a solid start by scoring 96 runs for the opening wicket. After Shafari got out, Smriti and Harleen Deol (4 not out) saw India through.

Watch the Match Highlights here:

Perhaps, the South African women on Tuesday were not as motivated as they were in the first two matches, as they had already clinched the series by winning both games.

Brief scores: South Africa: 112/7 wkts in 20 overs (Sune Luus 28; Gayakwad 3/9) lost to India: 114/1 wkt in 11 overs (Shafali Verma 60, Smriti Mandhana 48 not out) by 9 wickets
