England wrapped up a 3-0 series whitewash with an emphatic nine-wicket victory over South Africa in the third women’s T20 international at Centurion.
Danni Wyatt-Hodge hit an unbeaten 53 as England raced to victory with 51 balls to spare after spinner Charlie Dean’s three for 26 had helped bowl out the hosts for 124.
South Africa, who were without captain Laura Wolvaardt due to illness, slipped to 45 for five inside the opening eight overs as Lauren Bell and Dean both struck twice.

Nondumiso Shangase (31) and Nadine de Klerk (19) put on 52 for the sixth wicket to give the hosts hope of posting a competitive total but the last five wickets fell in quick succession.
Dean’s good day continued when she ran out Sinalo Jafta.
Maia Bouchier, who hit five fours and a six in a 21-ball 35, was the only wicket to fall as England raced to their target.
Wyatt-Hodge cracked 10 fours and six in her 31-ball knock while Sophia Dunkley finished 24 not out.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
