India 'A' advanced to the triangular one-day series final in Nairobi with a thumping six-wicket victory over hosts Kenya in their final league engagment on Tuesday.

Electing to bat, Kenya were all out for 216 with Ravindu Shah top scoring with 90 and part-time spinner Sridharan Sriram claiming four for 49.

The Indians reached the target with more than 10 overs to spare. Dhiraj Jadhav piloted the chase with a 105-ball 76 while Mahendra Singh Dhoni (30) and Sriram (35) saw the Indians home.
