A superb performance by medium-pacers Shardul Thakur (4-32) and Kuldeep Sen (3-30) helped set up a seven-wicket win for India ‘A’ against New Zealand ‘A’ in the first one-dayer here on Thursday.

Sent in to bat by India ‘A’ captain Sanju Samson, incisive bowling by Thakur and Sen had the visiting team in trouble from the start.
