Australia A’s 275‑run triumph over India A, decided by a 69‑run margin, sealed a 2‑0 series lead.
The 101‑run partnership between Josh Philippe and Sam Konstas anchored the innings, with Philippe’s 58 coming off 58 balls and Konstas’s 67 providing a steady counter‑attack.
India A’s top‑order collapsed early, with Devdutt Padikkal, Sai Sudharsan and Ruturaj Gaikwad dismissed for single‑digits, leaving the hosts at 30 for three in the ninth over.
Spencer Johnson turned the tide in the middle overs, claiming three key wickets—including Patidar’s 67—to expose the batting lineup’s fragility.
Despite Rajat Patidar’s valiant 67, the lack of support saw India A bowled out for 206 in 45.2 overs, while Australia A’s bowlers, led by Arshad Khan’s 3/56, kept the pressure on.
With the series now locked, Australia A will look to maintain momentum in the final encounter, while India A must rebuild their top‑order resilience for a chance to salvage the series.
