Match scorecard

Pujara was the batting hero for India A in Glasgow

India A avenged Wednesday's loss to Scotland by inflicting a heavy 152-run defeat on the Saltires in Glasgow.

Chasing India A's imposing score of 281-7 in their 50 overs, the home team came up short as they were bowled out for just 129 in 35.3 overs.

Cheteshwar Pujara was the tourists' star with the bat with an unbeaten 122 off 117 balls as the Scots struggled.

Richie Berrington was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets, but still went for 70 runs in his 10-over stint.

The Scotland reply never got going with captain Gordon Drummond's men soon 28-3 and their challenge effectively ended when the in-form Berrington, who scored a century at the same venue in midweek, was out for 24 in the 17th over.

Medium-pacer Dhawal Kulkarni clinched the match for the tourists, finishing with impressive bowling figures of 5-29.

Moneeb Iqbal did top score for Scotland with a stubborn 33, but Iqbal Abdulla completed a comfortable win for India's second string by bowling Ross Lyons.
