🧸Match officials waited two hours after the scheduled late-afternoon start before abandoning the game without a ball bowled due to rain and lightning. This was South Africa's first bilateral series victory since August 2022.

♔The teams begin a three-match one-day international series on Tuesday in Paarl, followed by two tests.

🌳South Africa had already secured the series with wins in the first two T20Is, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead. A sparkling century from opener Reeza Hendricks, his first in T20Is, and Rassie van der Dussen's unbeaten 38-ball 66 were the cornerstones of the hosts' victory in the second game, as they chased down a 207-run target with seven wickets to spare in 19.3 overs.

The Proteas had come into the second game after winning the first T20I on the back of a David Miller masterclass and George Linde’s all-round display.
