New Delhi: Spurred on by opener Ganesh Gamvit’s brilliant 79, India wrapped up the Petro Cup series for blind cricketers with a seven-wicket win over world champions Pakistan in the fifth and last match here Thursday.

India had already clinched the five-match series Wednesday when they defeated Pakistan by three wickets in the fourth match. The third match was abandoned due to rain.

Chasing Pakistan’s 294 for nine, India rode on Man-of-the-Match Gamvit’s superb 79 off just 37 deliveries. Subhash Boya came up with an equally flamboyant 62 off 22 balls while Rajender Verma scored 60 off 54 balls to take India to 298 for three in just 27 overs. Sushil Gupta also contributed in the Indian victory with a valuable 54 off 39 balls.
