Shahbaz Nadeem helps India B lift Deodhar Trophy

Left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem claimed four wickets as India B lifted the Deodhar Trophy with a comprehensive 51-run win over India C in the final in Ranchi today.
Electing to bat, India B recovered from early jolts to post a competitive 283 for 7, with fifties by Jadhav and Yashasvi Jaiswal 54 and  45 from Vijay Shankar down the order.

With bowlers Shahbaz Nadeem 4/32 and Mohammed Siraj 2/43 India B restricted India C to 231 for 9 to complete the victory.

India C lost skipper, 20-year-old Shubman Gill for 1, who became the youngest captain to lead a side in the Deodhar Trophy final, surpassing Virat Kohli's 10-year-old record.

After Gill's departure, Mayank Agarwal 28 and Priyam Garg 74 added 54 runs before the opener was sent back by Nadeem in the 12th over.

Markande 27 took the team across the 200-mark but scoring at more than 10 runs an over in the remaining over proved too tall a task for the tail-enders as India C ended their innings at 232 for 9.
