Pankaj Singh picked up the last two wickets early on the third day as India A wrapped up the first match against Kenya in Mombasa by an innings and 98 runs. The victory was set up by Piyush Chawla's four-wicket haul on the second day as the home side faced imminent defeat, struggling at 192 for 8.
Singh trapped both Peter Ongondo and Elijah Otieno leg before to wrap up the innings for 211. Though the Kenyans fell way short of making India bat again, it was an improvement from the first-innings capitulation of 97. Chawla finished with a match haul of 6 for 45, continuing his good form from Zimbabwe. Parthiv Patel bagged the Man-of-the-Match award for his 124.
The second match, at the same venue, gets underway on August 10.
