After being put into bat by the hosts, the Indians put on a competitive 154 on board but the Caribbeans managed to tie the match which was ultimately decided by the one-over Eliminator in which run-outs by Dinda proved decisive.

West Indies 'A' made four runs in five balls in the Eliminator which India 'A' chased down comfortably, making seven runs in 3 balls -- including a couple of wides conceded by Suleiman Benn.

With this victory, the visitors drew the two-match series after losing the opening game by three wickets on Saturday.

It was a rather steady start for India, a team which struggled to get a decent opening partnership going for most part of the tour.

Shikhar Dhawan (33) and Ajinkya Rahane (79) put on 61 runs for the opening wickets before the former became Garey Mathurin's only victim of the game by holing out to Kieran Powell.

His departure led to an all too familiar batting collapse with Rahane struggling to get a steady partner at the other end.

The Mumbai youngster knock came off 63 deliveries and was studded with four boundaries and a couple of sixes. India were eventually restricted to 154 for five in their 20 overs after yet another middle-order flopshow.
