Ahmedabad, February 4
India A’s spinners turned the knife into England Lions’ batting line-up to give their side a commanding 134-run victory on the fourth day of the third and final unofficial game.
Chasing 403, Lions were bundled out for 268 as India A bagged the three-match series 2-0. Mumbai left-arm spinner Shams Mulani (5/60) and Madhya Pradesh off-spinner Saransh Jain (3/50) were the stars for India as England crumbled after resuming from overnight 83/2.
Opener Alex Lees, who started the day at 41, fell for 55 when Mulani trapped him in front. From 120/4, Lions slipped to 140/7. Wicketkeeper-batter Ollie Robinson (80) and James Coles (31) added 104 runs for an entertaining eighth-wicket stand.
Brief scores: India A: 192 & 409; England Lions: 199 & 268 all out in 72.4 overs (Robinson 81, Lees 55; Mulani 5/60, Jain 3/50).
