Before the stoppages, Suryavanshi went berserk to hit 10 sixes and a four, taking the game away from the opposition. Vedant Trivedi (31 not out off 57) and Abhigyan Kundu (48 not out off 42) were in the middle when India were declared winners.
Earlier, a fine 114 (117 balls; 7 fours, 3 sixes) from Jason Rowles helped South Africa reach as far as 245, with the hosts being bowled out in 49.3 overs. Kishan Singh returned 8.3-1-46-4 while RS Ambrish took 2/47.
