India wrapped up the one-off Test against Proteas by 10 wickets on the final session of the fifth day, keeping the Laura Wolvaardt-led side winless in the tour so far.
After Nadine de Klerk's determined half-century ensured that India's total would be chased down and the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side would be forced to come out to bat again, Shubha Sateesh and Shafali saw the hosts through without much struggle in 10 overs to seal the match in Chennai.
In pursuit of an overwhelming India's first-inning total of 603/6 declared, which was mainly supported by Shafali's 197-ball 205 and Smriti Mandhana's 149, off-spinner Rana forced South Africa to settle for 266 after returning career-best numbers.
India forced a continuation, with South Africa needing 337 runs to close the gap. In the second innings, South Africa's captain Laura Wolvaardt (122) and previous captain Sune Luus (109) engaged in a fierce battle.
With 61 from middle-order batsman Nadine de Klerk, the visitors reached 373, giving the home team a goal of 37 runs.
