2nd unofficial Test, India A tour of Australia at Melbourne, Nov 7-9 2024
Australia A won by 6 wkts

1:50pm India A bat till about 40 minutes after lunch on the third day, a prospect that looked far-fetched when they were 73 for 5 last night. Jurel and Reddy provided resistance first and then Kotian and Prasidh increased the lead. An exciting chase in our hands, Australia A might not be too worried with the target because there aren't any demons on the surface. Back shortly with the final innings of the game

McSweeney to Kotian, OUT, Miscued to mid-off! Kotian tries to accumulate some quick runs before the second new ball is due. Hence sees the length ball and looks to go inside out over extra cover. But the bat turns in his hands and he only hits it to Harris. Misses out on a fifty but a top knock down the order
