Skipper S Badrinath led with example and hit a sedate unbeaten 69 to fashion India A’s five-wicket win against their New Zealand counterparts in the Tri-Series cricket tournament here on Wednesday.
After Badrinath inserted the visitors, Piyush Chawla (3-43) and Praveen Kumar (2-17) shared five wickets between them to shoot out the visitors for 167 in 44.5 overs with Neil Broom (52), Peter Fulton (40) and Grant Eilliot (35) making useful contributions with the bat.
Chasing a meagre target, the Indians could not settle into any rhythm as the top order continued its slipshod show before Badrinath and in-form Yusuf Pathan (34 not out) put their foot down and stitched together an unbeaten 43-run stand to see the hosts through with 15.2 overs to spare.
