A 17-member Indian Mens team, featuring four players from Odisha, won the three-match Friendship Cricket Series for the Blind 2-1, defeating Pakistan by eight wickets in the high-scoring final at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai today. Supposed to be a triangular series, it ended as a bilateral event as Sri Lanka did not participate.
India started their campaign with a setback as they lost the opening match by five wickets against Pakistan on February 22. But the formidable Indian team, featuring Odisha quartet of Pankaj Bhue (B2), Sukhram Majhi (B3), Nakula Badanayak (B2) and Debaraj Behera (B1) bounced back to clinch the series, beating Pakistan in the last two matches by 46 runs and eight wickets respectively.
