Put into bat, Sussex were 236 all out with seamer R P Singh grabbing four wickets, but the Indians needed 235 to win due to the revised target under D/L system.
The Indians looked in control even though Sachin Tendulkar (21) departed early. Parthiv Patel (55), Kohli (71) and Sharma (61 n o) played against an average home attack.
