So, that's it from our side! The West Indies were brilliant throughout the series and are the deserved winners. South Africa couldn't adapt to the conditions properly and were found wanting. The West Indies will be heading into the T20 World Cup with lots of confidence. The mega event is less than a week away and we all are waiting in anticipation. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. Till next time, goodbye and cheers!
Here's the glory moment! Brandon King has been handed over the trophy and he poses for photographs along with his teammates.
Brandon King | West Indies captain: I have been playing well, couldn't finish the game today but I'm pleased with my own performance. We played well as a unit, we are playing with the same guys since the last 1-2 years. It's really important, some good momentum going into the World Cup. Our bowling performance was very pleasing, we were very consistent, our batters also performed well, different contributions throughout the series. A lot of our main players were missing, still performing the way we did was great.
Rassie van der Dussen | South Africa captain: Thoroughly disappointing, we have been taught a lesson, we couldn't adapt, still today we couldn't time the ball well so not happy with that. You can chat all you want, you have to deliver in the middle. The chatting is done, some of the guys will be coming into the squad for the World Cup. They are playing in their home conditions but that's no excuse, we also have some spinning pitches back at home. They were good with the bat and they were better with the ball than us. The majority of the squad are playing together for 3-4 years so they know each other. De Kock finding some form was good and Peter did well. But, overall it was not good enough from us.
Gudakesh Motie | Player of the Series: Very pleased with my performance, I'm working very hard. I have been working hard in the middle trying different variations such as the wide yorker. (On their matches in T20 World Cup) We are not playing outside the Caribbean. Most of the surfaces will be similar.
Johnson Charles | Player of the Match: It was great, we have been working hard during the camp building up to this series. Just enforcing the basics to be honest, I'm working on it, it came off today, it's about implementing. You saw it is about confidence, even in the two games I didn't score but I was feeling good. It's going to be great, these are good signs. Not having a full squad but we still beat South Africa 3-0.
16:47 Local Time, 21:47 GMT, 03:17 IST: A clinical performance from the West Indies to cap off the series! Their bowlers set up the game for them. McCoy and Motie were the pick of the bowlers for the hosts. Rassie and Mulder played well to take South Africa to a respectable total but it proved to be under-par against a powerful West Indies batting line-up. Charles took his side off to a flier as he went berserk from the get-go. Charles scored a blistering fifty off just 20 balls and that almost killed the game. The hard-hitting opener fell against the run of play but King took over from there and played some big shots. The West Indian skipper also perished in a bid to finish the game early. But, Mayers hit a few lusty blows at the fag end to take his side over the finish line with 37 balls to spare. Stick around for the presentations...
