Jaipur: Highly-rated fast bowler Ishan Porel came up with a six-wicket haul to star in Bengal's eight-wicket win over Jammu & Kashmir in a Vijay Hazare Trophy Group 'C' match here on Monday.
J&K batted after captain Parvez Rasool won the toss and was in trouble in the 4th over as Porel, who worked up good pace, sent back Qamnran Iqbal (1) and Shubham Khajuria, who has been in good form for a duck.
