Zaheer Khan didn’t look menacing enough as he bowled 17 overs to take the wicket of rival skipper Devendra Bundela who was bowled for eight. India A players Naman Ojha and Jalaj Saxena also didn’t get many runs although the former looked in great touch as he smashed six fours in his 26-run knock.
Mumbai captain Ajit Agarkar was the most successful bowler taking two for 43. Iqbal Abdulla, Abhishek Nayar and Zaheer got the other wickets.
