Prabhsimran Singh’s brilliant 102 off 68 balls set up India A’s thrilling two-wicket win over Australia A in Kanpur, sealing the unofficial ODI series 2-1. Chasing 317, India A were cruising at 262 for 3 before a dramatic collapse saw them lose five wickets for 39 runs. Vipraj Nigam (24*) and Arshdeep Singh (7*) held their nerve, adding an unbeaten 21-run stand for the ninth wicket to see the hosts home with 24 balls to spare.
Prabhsimran gave India A a flying start, smashing eight fours and seven sixes in an 83-run opening stand with Abhishek Sharma. Captain Shreyas Iyer (62) and Riyan Parag (62) built on that momentum with a 117-run partnership, but Tanveer Sangha’s four-wicket burst and Todd Murphy’s double made it tense before India A crossed the finish line to clinch the series.
