4.20pm That's it from all of us. Hope you've enjoyed the game. Do join us for tomorrow's match between India A and South Africa A, and keep sending in your comments. Until then, ta ta!
Matthew Wade: "Good to win four out of four but it all comes down to the final on Friday and we'll be up for that, ready to go. In any one-day game you want to be batting 50 overs, so myself, should probably have batted a little deeper there, Peter Handscomb through to 50 overs."
Dean Elgar: "It's been tough, off the field. Cricketing-wise, lot of things you can't control. It's been interrupted, with regards to preparation, with the illnesses and so forth." Says they might have to "bowl India out for 10" to qualify for the final.
Nathan Coulter-Nile: "Getting used to the conditions, it's important to reverse the ball here. I just try to hit the top of off - that changes with each pitch, sometimes it can be fuller, sometimes a little shorter."
4.07pm Australia A finish the group stage with a perfect record. Top win for them, set up by an excellent century from Matthew Wade, who looked a class above anyone else in conditions that weren't all that easy for batting. South Africa A fought back with the ball, and looked to be in with a chance of chasing down 273 when Dean Elgar was batting, but the lower order has collapsed quite dramatically. They've been bowled out inside 38 overs. The spinners took three wickets each, but the pick of the bowlers was Nathan Coulter-Nile, who bowled a fabulous spell with the new ball.
