Teenager Singh grabs four as India win easily

RAJKOT, India, Wednesday (Reuters) India's teenaged paceman Rudra Pratap Singh grabbed four wickets to set up a seven-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the sixth one-dayer on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old left-arm bowler extracted sharp bounce on a flat pitch to claim four for 35 to bowl out the visitors for 196 in 42.5 overs after being asked to bat first.

India coasted to 197 for three in 34.5 overs to extend their lead in the series to 5-1 with a game left. Left-hander Yuvraj Singh smashed nine fours and three sixes to remain 79 not out, sharing a racy 105-run partnership for the unbeaten fourth wicket with Mohammad Kaif (38 not out).

Sri Lankan middle-order batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan struck 59 but the rest of the batsmen struggled against a largely inexperienced bowling.

The final game will be played in Baroda on Saturday.
