Leg-spinner Piyush Chawla continued with his fine form to capture four wickets as India A crushed Kenya by an innings and 98 runs in a three-day match at Mombasa Sports Club in Nairobi on Tuesday.

Needing 309 to avoid an innings defeat, Kenya were bowled out for 211 in their second innings.

Chawla (4/32) and medium pacer Pankaj Singh (3/19) were the main wicket-takers for the visitors.

Earlier, after bundling out the home side only for 97 in the first essay, India A posted a huge total of 406 for eight declared.

Parthiv Patel (124) and S Badrinath (133 not out) again struck centuries to put the visitors in a comfortable position.

Kenya required special efforts from its batsmen to avoid defeat, but only Collins Obuya (51) could make a significant contribution.

Brief scores: Kenya 97 and 211 (Collins Obuya 51, Maurice Ouma 35; Piyush Chawla 4/32, Pankaj Singh 3/19) lost to India A 406 for 8 decl (S Badrinath 133 not out, Parthiv Patel 124, Pankaj Singh 40; Peter Ongondo 2/74, Hiren Varaiya 2/119).
