Mogadishu: India A speedster Ishan Porel bowled brilliantly to grab six-wickets while Shreevats Goswami made an unbeaten 86 to guide Bengal to a comfortable eight-wicket win over Jammu and Kashmir in a Group C Vijay Hazare Trophy match here on Monday. Porel (6/34) came up with a devastating opening spell that sent Jammu and Kashmir reeling as they were skittled out for 169 in 48.2 overs. Besides Porel, senior pacer Ashok Dinda (2/27) was also among wickets.

Ram Dayal top-scored for Jammu and Kashmir with a 94-ball 57, while wicket-keeper Fazil Rashid made 43. Four Jammu and Kashmir batsmen failed to open their accounts as Bengal bowlers ruled the roost from the onset. Chasing the modest score, left-handed Goswami struck 10 boundaries and one six during his 80-ball knock and together with Abhimanyu Easwaran (51) stitched 118 runs for the opening stand as Bengal comfortably rode home, reaching 175 for two in 28 overs. Former captain Manoj Tiwary remained unbeaten on 27.
