Chasing 232 on Day 3, the India C top-order got the job done with skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad (36), Aryan Juyal (47) and Rajat Patidar (44) playing vital knocks.
India D resumed the day at overnight score of 206 for eight, with Axar Patel and Harshit Rana at the crease.
The pair added 30 runs on the day before Suthar dismi♊ssed Axar (28) and Aditya Thakare (0), as India D ended their second innings at 236.
Beginning the chase, Gaikwad and Sai Sudharsan (22) forged a 64-run opening stand before Saransh Jain got rid of the latter to break the partnership. Four overs later, 🦹Gaikwad also fell prey to the same man.
However, ওthe duo of Juyal and Patidar stitched an 88-run stand for the third w♏icket to ensure that their side stayed on course.
It was🌸 Jain again who broke the alliance by getting rid of Patidar, while Juyal fell to Arshdeep Singh six runs later.
India D, then, left India C in a spot of bother at 191 for six and tried to come back into the game. But Abishek Porel (35 not out) and Suthar (19) had other ideas 🦂and saw 🥂their team home.
For India D, Jain grabbed four wickets.
