The South African spinners again kept a rein on the home team’s batsmen, leading to some awful errors. Dhananjaya de Silva walked passed a straight ball from Bjorn Fortuin and was stumped, Kamindu Mendis – who replaced Charitha Asalanka – drove Markram to Maharaj, Wanindu Hasaranga did the same, giving Fortuin his second wicket.
Maharaj was superb again, and while it’s unlikely he’ll be made captain permanently once Temba Bavuma is fit, there is certainly scope for him to play a major tactical role when the team is in the field. Maharaj picked up 1/14 and once more Bjorn Fortuin delivered a spell that shows there is no need for concern ahead of the World Cup. He is accurate and varies his pace well, but most importantly he has shown composure throughout the series.
Hendricks’ driving – along the ground and in the air – was delightful, while De Kock was efficient in making 59 – his second half-century of the series – and ending as the series’s top run-scorer with an aggregate of 153 runs
