Rajvardhan Hangargekar’s unbeaten 48 off 23 balls provided the final flourish. UAE used as many as nine bowling options at the ICC Academy Ground but the move did not help their cause. The home team’s batters came a cropper against the Indian bowling line up, folding up for 128 in 34.3 overs.

Hangargekar took three wickets for India while Garv Sangwan, Vicky Oswal and Kaushal Tamble took two each. India next play arch-rivals Pakistan on Saturday.
