Opener K D Phanase (36), Vikrant Keni (29) and S Mahendran (33) also chipped in with valuable contributions.

India then returned to restrict England to 144 for 9 to lay claim to the Trophy.

Phanase and S Goyal scalped two wickets each as England lost wickets at regular intervals.

BCCI, which had given recognition to the team but refrained from giving any financial assistance, took to twitter to congratulate the achievement of the team which was coached by former Mumbai coach Sulakshan Kulkarni.

“India defeat England by 36 runs in the final to clinch Physical Disability World Cricket Series 2019,” the BCCI wrote in its handle.
