Chawla spins India to victory

Piyush Chawla tied Malaysia in knots as India eased to a seven-wicket win in their tri-series match at Kinrara Oval. He claimed 5 for 17 as the hosts were crushed for 101 before Saurabh Tiwari guided the chase.

Malaysia had made deceptively comfortable start as Shafiq Sharif and Faris Almas-Lee added 46 for the first wicket. However, once Swapnil Singh provided the first breakthrough the batting order resembled a pack of cards.

Chawla, who has a Test cap against England to his name, was too much for the inexperienced line-up although some poor shot selection didn't help. All 10 wickets fell for 54 and only extras joined the openers with double figures.

India didn't knock off the runs without a few blips as they fell to 63 for 3. Aminuddin Ramly took two wickets but the match was finished in grand manner by Tiwari who dispatched consecutive sixes in the 19th over.
