India A crushed hosts South Africa A by an innings and 13 runs on the fourth and final day of the opening unofficial Test to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series on Tuesday.
The Indian bowlers continued their dominating show as they bundled out South Africa for 212 in their second innings after making them follow on with a 225 run  lead on them.

Seam bowlers Mohammed Shami (3/29) and Ishwar Pandey (3/25) picked up three wickets each while part-time spinner Rohit Sharma chipped in with two wickets to wrap up India's crushing win over the hosts.
Middle-order batsman Temba Bavuma (65) was the top-scorer for South Africa in their second innings. His 138-ball innings included 6 fours.

Resuming at overnight 312 for nine, Kyle Abbott (33 not out) and Andrew Birch (18) provided some late resistance before Suresh Raina had the latter trapped leg before to bring an end to South Africa's first innings at 357.
After asking South Africa to follow on, India's  pace batteries struck early with Pandey dismissing Reeza Hendricks (4) in the third ball of his first over.
Shami then struck twice in the sixth over, removing Dean Elgar (3) and JP Duminy (0) in the space of four deliveries leaving RSA A in deep trouble.

The Half centurian of the 1st innings Rilee Rossouw tried to break the shackles and cracked away three boundaries in the 10th over bowled by Shami Ahmed.He was dismissed in the 20th over by Raina, who bowled out Rossouw's timbers when the batsman went for a sweep shot.
Bavuma picked up a couple of boundaries in the 23rd over off Raina, while Ontong (19) hit two fours off Shami's in the 25th over. But Shami came back strongly to clean up Ontong in the fourth delivery of the same over as South Africa  sinked to 93 for five.

Pandey took his second wicket in the form of Tsolekile in the 35th over before Nadeem got rid off Wayne Parnell (10) as South Africa further slumped to 140 for seven in 41.4 overs.
At tea, South Africa needed another 84 runs to make India bat again with three second innings wickets in hand. Temba Bavuma and Simon Harmer were at the crease after the break.

After the interval, Bavuma started on a positive side,  dispatching Nadeem through the mid-wicket and covers for a
couple of handy boundaries.

Bavuma scored another boundary off the left-arm spinner when he drove him through point and covers in the 48th over.
Part-time spinner Sharma was then introduced into the attack by captain Pujara and the trick worked as Bavuma (65) in sight of a pull shot hit it straight to the India skipper at mid-wicket.

Abbott (14) and Harmer (31 not out) tried to ease out the mounting pressure with a couple of hits to the fence. Sharma came back for his second spell to dismiss Abbott when he induced an edge to wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha.Birch then picked up a four off Sharma but Pandey cleaned up the batsman in the 67th over to complete India A's a thumping victory.
