But by then, the job was already done. The Proteas had taken the series.<\/p>\n<p>It was a performance that blended composure, resilience, and moments of brilliance across the three matches. Keshav Maharaj once again stood tall, playing a vital role with the ball and earning the Player of the Series award, underlining why he\u2019s ranked the world\u2019s number one ODI bowler.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DOT095tDdLd\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Captain Temba Bavuma summed up the team\u2019s pride after the series win.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s one thing playing here, and it\u2019s another thing coming and winning.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That sentiment echoed throughout the squad as they embraced both the magnitude of winning against England in their own backyard and the belief it brings for bigger challenges ahead.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAchievements like these go a long way. In terms of building that confidence and really giving us that belief while we\u2019re still on this journey,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Proteas have made a statement. \u00a0This was not just about results on the scorecard, but about making a statement. With confidence growing and momentum on their side, the series victory offers a timely boost as they look ahead to the rest of their season.<\/p>\n<p>They now shift focus to a different format, T20!
