Pooja, positioned at mid-off, initially caught the ball but fumbled twice before eventually dropping it. <!-- -->Renuka<!-- --> also rushed towards Pooja in an effort to catch the dropped ball but also failed to grab it.<\/p>\n<p>India went on to secure a resounding 10-wicket victory, thanks to a record-breaking performance by opener Shafali Verma and a remarkable bowling effort by Sneh Rana. Shafali Verma&#8217;s blistering 197-ball double-century and Sneh Rana&#8217;s impressive first-innings figures of 8\/77 were pivotal in the match.<br \/>After declaring their first innings at 603\/6, with Shafali scoring 205 and <!-- -->Smriti Mandhana<!-- --> contributing 149, India dominated South Africa. Rana&#8217;s career-best figures helped dismiss the visitors for 266.<br \/>India enforced the follow-on, with South Africa still needing 337 runs to avoid an innings defeat. Despite valiant efforts from captain <!-- -->Laura Wolvaardt<!-- --> (122) and former skipper Sune Luus (109), along with de Klerk&#8217;s 61, South Africa managed 373 in their second innings, setting a target of 37 runs for India.<br \/>Shubha Satheesh (13 not out) and Shafali Verma (24 not out) quickly reached the target in 9.2 overs, sealing the win for India.<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
