India A could not finish the job as New Zealand A's lower order put up a strong fight in the post-tea session.
Kristian Clarke (41), Fraser Sheat (40), Jayden Lennox (32) and Jarrod McKay (33) made useful contributions to take their team past India's total.
Akash Deep had an expensive outing, finishing with figures of 0/59 in 23 overs. Mukesh, meanwhile, found it difficult to trouble the batters once the Kookaburra lost its shine.
The five-wicket haul was Mukesh's second for India A in a SENA country. He had previously achieved the feat against Australia A in Mackay in 2024.
New Zealand A's final wicket added 55 runs before Washington Sundar (1/81 in 29.5 overs) brought the innings to an end.
Washington's off-breaks, however, lacked penetration. His performance once again highlighted how much his effectiveness as a spinner depends on the conditions.
