India A Clinch Series With Grit and Flair

In a commanding display of depth and talent, India A wrapped up their multi-match series against Australia A with a decisive victory—thanks to standout contributions from Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer, and Riyan Parag . The win not only sealed the series but also sent a strong message about India’s bench strength ahead of major international assignments.

The final match, played under crisp conditions, saw India A chase down a competitive total with confidence, overcoming a late surge from Australia A’s bowling attack led by Nathan Murphy and Tanveer Sangha—both of whom claimed four-wicket hauls but couldn’t prevent the inevitable .

Prabhsimran, Iyer, Parag: The Winning Trio

The backbone of India A’s innings was a blistering start from opener Prabhsimran Singh, who punished the new ball with clean striking and sharp footwork. His quickfire 60 off just 48 balls set the tone and put Australia A on the back foot early.

When the innings needed stability, Shreyas Iyer stepped up with a composed 78*, anchoring the chase with textbook cover drives and clever rotation of strike. His unbroken 92-run partnership with the dynamic Riyan Parag (42 off 31) ensured there were no late hiccups.

Parag, often labeled a “finisher-in-the-making,” showed maturity beyond his years—picking gaps, clearing the ropes when needed, and rotating strike under pressure. Together, the trio turned a tricky chase into a clinical exercise.

Australia A’s Valiant Effort Goes in Vain

Despite the loss, Australia A’s bowlers gave their all. Fast bowler Nathan Murphy returned figures of 4/41, extracting bounce and movement to rattle India A’s middle order briefly. Meanwhile, leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha impressed with his control and variations, finishing with 4/52 in his 10 overs .

Earlier, Australia A posted 267/8 in their 50 overs, built around a gritty 85 from Jake Fraser-McGurk and useful cameos from Cooper Connolly and Liam Scott. But their total, while respectable, lacked the late acceleration needed to truly challenge a deep Indian batting lineup.
