short and wide, cut to the sweeper for one to end a highly dissatisfying match. Could have been so much closer at the end but some lack of intent and bizarre batting ended the math well before the official end

4.30pm So India A are through to the finals after winning this game. They set SA a challenging 372, but SA got off to a brilliant start. Quinton de Kock and Cameron Delport played fluently and put South Africa in a dominating position. However, Reeza Hendricks and Cody Chetty's bizarre partnership was poles apart. They did not look at the boundaries consistently enough and ended what could have been an entertaining match much before than expected.
Dane Vilas: Very difficult to chase this total, but a much better performance from the guys today. Lots of positives to take into the four-day matches. We were expecting the pitches to be slower and lower, but they were good throughout.
Unmukt Chand: Happy to be in the finals. We can hopefully take it into the next match. Important to keep the bowlers fresh and everyone gets a fair opportunity. The pitch was stopping a bit early on.
Mayank Agarwal is the Man of the Match. "My hardwork has paid off, did a lot of long-distance running to help my running between the wickets. Important to repeat the process, I understand my process and hopefully I can repeat that tomorrow."
De Kock: "I haven't changed my technique much in the last few months, maybe the wickets here have been much better."

Bryden: "Reeza Hendricks batted himself out of contention for a spot in the SA ODI side... no regard whatsoever for the match situation... seemed like a self-indulgent innings to me. Even a run a ball would have been a perfect foil to allow QDK to kick on rather than load him with pressure"
