Kathmandu MAY 1. The Indian under-19 team completed a 3-0 whitewash, defeating Nepal by four wickets in the third and final one-dayer at the Tribhuvan University Cricket ground in Kirtipur here on Wednesday.

Patel grabbed four wickets while Abhishek Sharma picked two for the visitor.

India was in trouble at 64 for three but Gnaneswara Rao (38) and Biswas steered the team to safety after A.T. Rayudu (38) had given the team a steady start along with Bisla (16).

The scores:

Nepal 143 for eight in 27 overs (K. Chaugai 46, Patel four for 25) lost to India under-19 144 for six in 26.3 overs (A.T. Rayudu 38, Gnaneswara Rao 38). — PTI
