Wicket-keeper batsman Harjas Singh led the charge with the highest individual score (55), well-supported by contributions from Harry Dixon, Ryan Hicks, and captain Hugh Weibgen.
In the 2nd innings when India came to bat, requiring 254 runs to win, India lost the opener Arshin Kulkarni very early in the innings.
