Ashok Meenaria takes five wickets, but at what cost? Not only is a proper bowler missing, but we also see a mediocre batsman lounge around at six.
Chand gets another fifty. Mandy's supported him nicely. Let's just hope they keep up this form for two, no, three, more years, before India caps come.
Why, oh, why, do Indian domestic/reserve/futures teams play a wicketkeeper at the top of the order at the expense of a proper batsman?

Mandeep gets a life from a no-ball on which he was bowled out.
Now a commentator says if it wasn't a wicket, it wouldn't be referred to the Third Umpire, the no-ball wouldn't be referred, and the batsman would miss out on a free hit! Interesting perspective.
Mandy makes the most of the free-hit and hits a four. India supporters may hope he or Chand hits a four off the last (extra) delivery. Devcich's making things easier with a wide.

What's going on there? Some kind of argument, possibly about the no-ball.
Spotlight on Mandy. He's got healthy figures in his FC career so far, and if he keeps it up for another season and plays FC matches for India A, we have another batting prospect for India. Let's also hope Kings XI gives him his due in the IPL- fair, he may not get the breathtaking David Miller figures, but he can still serve that team well. We may have a Chandy-Mandy partnership in the middle-order in the near future.
Spotlight II on Basanth Mohanty. He's got impressive figures of 160 wickets over 44 FC matches, good, tight average, tight economy, but the strike rate is a bit disappointing, over 57. Interestingly, he's played only nine List-A and eight T20 matches! Still maintained good figures in the few limited-overs matches he's got.
Now, KJ steps in. Possibly one of the best, if not the single best, limited-overs batsmen in the country yet to get an India cap.

Good lord, I hate this tokenism! All the cricket grounds in this state are named after superstar politicians with dubious credentials, with governments clearly keen on image-building.
Nice tussle between Kage and Gilly.
"Sanjay Bangar. Never used to bang the ball as a batsman, only as a bowler". Clearly, the commentators have forgotten his strong, clean strokes. One of the cleanest, strongest hitters of the cricket ball, when not playing out arrays of dot balls in FC cricket. Never got his due as an India player because, maybe, he was too old and played for Railways- and the selectors often preferred Crown Prince Yuvraj over Motorman Banger.

What have we here? Selectors having a word with Banger? Chand's part of the circle. They've come with news of the selection for the series against WI-A. Good bunch for the limited-overs games, with experienced blokes like Yuvraj, Irfan, Yusuf and some young picks such as JDU, Baba and Mandy/Kage from this team. Their selection for the 4-dayers against WI is rather interesting, way off from the limiteds, and way off over the course of the series.
Meenu's come back nicely here. He was poor initially, but once the NZ-A bowlers were completely deflated, he's in his element. Still a far cry from his best season, though.
Easy win, before 40 overs finish. They've won the series. Jadhav keeps it going.
