A very good Bowling display by the young Lads led by Hangargekar. (What an exciting talent 🔥) bowled out Pakistan within 48 overs which was a much experienced side with atleast 5 international players. Chasing will not be that easy but these young guns can do it 💪 #INDvsPAK

RS Hangargekar is better than any young Pakistani bowling prospect yet he doesn’t get the same recognition from worldwide media just because he bashed minnows like Pakistan.#IndvsPak

Speaking of the current action of the match, India A started their run chase for a target of 206 runs. Opening batter Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for 20 in the 12th over. His partner Sai Sudarshan, on the other end, scored a well-made half-century.
Earlier in the first innings of the match, the men in green posts struggled a lot against the Indian bowling attack. They had lost their 6 wickets only on the score of 95 runs in 26.5 overs when skipper Mohammad Harris fell prey to Manav Suthar on the individual score of 14 runs. Later, it was the middle-order batter Qasim Akram who sojourned there in the middle to stabilize Pakistan A’s innings. He scored crucial 48 runs to help his side reach a total of 205 runs in 48 overs.
Other than Rajvardhan Hangargekar's 5 wickets at the cost of 42 runs in 8 overs, Manav Suthar also claimed three wickets after conceding only 36 runs in his quota of 10 overs. Whereas, Riyan Parag and Nishant Sindhu also picked one wicket each.
