Anil Shah and Ram Naresh Giri (three) took the team close to 50-run mark before Prakash scalped the latter. Anil added another 37 runs for the eighth wicket with Irshad Ahmed (four) before losing his wicket to Som Pal.
Anil top scored in the match with 54 off 58 that included seven boundaries and a six. Prakash returned with the figures of 6-23 from 7.3 overs. Som Pal took 3-27 from eight overs.
