— BCCI Domestic (@BCCIdomestic)India A’s new ball bowlers Jaydev Unadkat and Siddarth Kaul went for plenty without any success. Unadkat gave away 82 runs in his 10 overs while Kaul conceded 66 in eight. Ravichandran Ashwin (1/57 in 10 overs) was the only bowler to have an economy rate under six.
In the run chase, India A were never in the hunt as they were reduced to 17/3 in 3.4 overs. Opener Devdutt Padikkal was the top scorer with 31. The next best was 30 from Bhargav Merai.
With two losses in as many matches, India A are out of the competition. India A had lost to India B by 108 runs yesterday (October 31). It will be India C versus India B in the final on Monday (November 4). Tomorrow (November 2), in the last league match, the finalists will meet.
An absolutely clinical performance for India C overall. After posting a mammoth total of 366/3 on the board, they have bowled out India A for 134 runs and win by 232 runs.
