Indian women suffered an eight-wicket loss to South Africa in the first ODI here on Sunday.

Playing their first international match in 12 months, skipper Mithali Raj (50) and Harmanpreet Kaur (40) produced fine knocks but India never got the momentum it needed as they settled for 177 for nine.

In reply, Lizelle Lee (83) and Laura Wolvaardt (80) guided South Africa home, scoring 178 for two in 40.1 overs.
