Rodrigues was finally arrested at 43rd, while was caught at this point.

Success brought cheers to the South African camp, but Euphoria was short-lived as all-rounder Deepti took over and played an excellent 84-gent innings, which had studs with 10 borders and two sixes.

Deepti was rejected, but by the time she left, there was only one delivery, she had damaged.

For South Africa, Seemar Masabata Class (2/51), Nadin D Clake (2/54), and left-arm spinner Nonkuleko Mlaba (2/71) were the goals of bowlers.

But India captain Harmanpreet, using his bowling resources, found South African batsmen difficult to go for a big hit, scored most of his runs and scored in Twos.

South African top-order batter Anini Durkson (81 runs in 80 balls) tried to pursue the scoring rate during his 72-run partnership for the sixth wicket with Stand-in Skipper Cloe (67 runs in 43 balls), but they could not just keep speed with constant catching rates.

At more than two balances and at 299/6 with South Africa, the match was temporarily stopped due to poor light. But once Tryon and Nadin de Crolecor came out to bat after improving light and scored 15 more runs. But his effort was not enough on the day.

Earlier, it was asked to bat first, table-toppers India made an unstable start as In-Form opener Pratika Rawal (1) was rejected quickly, chasing a detailed delivery from Nadin de Clack and cutting it on Annie Durkson (1/36).

Harlen Deol also left cheaply, pulling a delivery on his stump and fell to 18 for India 2. Harmanpreet (28) played a sharp cameo, in which Shangse from Durkasen broke six boundaries before a short ball.

Mandal and Rodrigues stabilized the innings when the former Mistim gave a bridge shot for deep mid-wicket from Chloe Treen.
