India A romp to Challenger series win
Chasing 315 is hard to do, no matter how flat the wicket is, how lacklustre the opposition bowling is and how terrific the batting side is. You need a bit of luck. And you certainly cannot afford to muck about with the batting order like India B did, and expect to win. Rahul Dravid may have given everyone in his side a chance to have a decent bat, but he certainly can't be surprised that his team slid to a 99-run loss. A portion of the proceeds went to Sadanand Vishwanath, the former Indian wicketkeeper, as it was his benefit game. Some would say that that was the only worth-while thing to come out of this match.
