It was an important 3-0 win, last series before the World Cup, so important preparation and good momentum going into the World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Our bowling performances were very pleasing, we had consistency throughout,&quot; King added. &quot;Gudakesh Motie and other different contributors. Speaks well that a lot of our main players are missing. I can&#39;t wait to meet with the other boys before the World Cup.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The West Indies squad for the tournament will feature several players who missed this series such as skipper Rovman Powell and Andre Russell.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>South Africa had their stand-in captain Rassie van der Dussen to credit for even setting a half-decent target.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Van der Dussen hit five sixes in his crucial innings, putting on 77 in 8.1 overs in a fifth wicket partnership with Wiaan Mulder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>West Indies left-arm pace-man Obed McCoy, called into the World Cup squad on Sunday to replace the injured Jason Holder, took 3-39 in four overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fast bowler Shamar Joseph took 2-26 in four overs while &nbsp;Motie took for 2-21 in his three overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Van der Dussen was unsparing in his analysis of the series loss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Thoroughly disappointing. Not what we had in mind coming here,&quot; he said. &quot;From the first game they were all over us. We couldn&#39;t adapt, and today we couldn&#39;t find answers with the ball. Not happy with that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The chat coming into today was that you can chat all you want but have to deliver in the middle. We couldn&#39;t do that today. Time for talking is done, we&#39;ll need our experienced people coming in to take more responsibility. There&#39;s no excuse,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/icc-cricket-t20-world-cup-2024-schedule-squads-venues\">T20WC 2024 Schedule & Squads<\/a><\/p><p>&quot;We were caught off guard how they played with the bat and they were better with the ball as simple as that. We were taught a few lessons.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
