With this win, Bengal now have 12 points and stand at the second place in the Group (B).
Bengal produced a decent effort with the ball to set for themselves a target of 216 to win their maiden match this season.
But their batting, much like the first innings, crumbled and a similar script was written by off-spinner Rahil Shah who ended up with another five-wicket haul. For the visitors, Pradipta Pramanik played out a dogged 25-run innings to help his side get over the line.
