- New Zealand, which won Saturday's decider at Wellington's Basin Reserve, took the three-match ODI series 2–1.
- After crashing to 3 for 3, Maddy Green hit 141 not out and Brooke Halliday made 98 in a 211-run stand that set a New Zealand women's ODI record for the fourth wicket.
- Rosemary Mair led the defense with 5 for 50 for her first international five-wicket haul as South Africa were all out for 240 in 46.1 overs.
- Laura Wolvaardt scored 69 and Annerie Dercksen added 47, but the Proteas lost their last eight wickets for 95, which ended their chase.
- The ODI triumph followed a 4–1 T20I series win on the same tour and came after New Zealand leveled the ODIs with a record chase led by Amelia Kerr in the second match.
