William Porterfield "We started off pretty well, got wickets up front and pegged them back. We were happy enough at half time chasing 270 but just lost wickets. We've been pretty good with our ground fielding throughout the tournament but we missed a couple of catches. We've shown competitive spirit, in a lot of the games we kept ourselves in the game. We've got a lot of positives from this tournament."

Graeme Smith: "I think you can always nitpick, but there were some good signs today. We put ourselves under pressure with some stupid run outs but the guys responded really well after that, especially JP [Duminy] who batted really well under pressure. He really held things together, and then Colin Ingram, who hasn't played for a while, came in and batted well. We've done the first part of his now."

No surprises, JP Duminy is the Man of the Match: "The circumstances were a bit tense [when I came in], the key was to try and stay as calm as possible. I've done it a fair number of times now, and I've grown into this role nicely, and I hope it continues. I was trying to hit the ball out of the ground at the end, you never know when a few runs might make all the difference in the game."

Aoife Nolan: "I am still an Irish Blonde and I still support the redheads!!!"

shuvo_Kalmar: "@Aoife Nolan, i am in the same folk with you. See you redheads next WC hopefully with some more excitment." I'll second that, and also say goodbye to everyone who joined us for this game. We hope you enjoyed our coverage, and join us next time!
