In a stunning performance, South Africa's women cricketers secured a decisive nine-wicket victory over India in the third T20 International, taking an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.

India, putting forth their highest-ever total against South Africa, scored 192 for 4, driven by notable contributions from Harmanpreet Kaur and Shafali Verma. Despite this strong batting display, it was overshadowed by Laura Wolvaardt's explosive innings.

Wolvaardt scored a commanding 115 off 53 balls, supported by Sune Luus's undefeated 64. The duo effortlessly chased down the target in just 16.3 overs, marking one of the highest successful chases in women's T20 history. With this win, South Africa rendered the remaining matches inconsequential.
