First India ‘A’ v South Africans Test ends in draw on Day Four

In response to the hosts’ 509 for seven declared, India A had reached 308 for four at stumps on Day Three

The first unofficial Test between India ‘A’ and South Africa ‘A’ here ended in a draw after play on fourth and final day was washed out.

In response to the hosts’ 509 for seven declared, India A had reached 308 for four at stumps on Day Three.

Abhimanyu Easwaran compiled a solid hundred in the game but skipper Priyank Panchal missed out on one by only four runs. The bowlers struggled with the hosts piling on the runs. Hanumar Vihari, who was controversially dropped for the home series against New Zealand, made 25 off 53 balls. 

Another India player Prithvi Shaw scored a fine 48 but would have been disappointed to miss out on a hundred in good batting conditions.

The second match of the three-match series will be played from November 29 at the same venue.
