India A was bowled out for 107 runs in their first innings

Australia A on the first unofficial Test day in Mackay, pacer Brendan Doggett bowled an outstanding spell, claiming six wickets to dismiss India A for just 107 runs. Australia A took advantage of the good circumstances by choosing to bowl first, with Doggett leading the charge and seriously harming India's batting order.

India A struggled right away after taking to the crease under cloudy conditions. Ruturaj Gaikwad, the opener, was dismissed by Doggett for a first-ball duck after being beautifully collected by wicketkeeper Josh Philippe down the leg side. Doggett's unrelenting assault, which included the crucial wickets of Ishan Kishan, Devdutt Padikkal, and Prasidh Krishna, was sparked by this early dismissal. Doggett made sure no batter settled by maintaining pace and accuracy when the Indian top and middle order were under tremendous strain.
