Auqib Nabi’s Four-wicket Haul Hands India A Crucial 122-run Lead Against Sri Lanka A
Pacer Auqib Nabi Dar: Pacer Auqib Nabi Dar spearheaded India A’s bowling charge with a four-wicket haul as the visitors secured a commanding 122-run first-innings advantage against Sri Lanka A on day three of the first four-day game here on Saturday.
Despite fifties from Nuwanidu Fernando (84), captain Sahan Arachchige (72), and Ashen Bandara (70), Sri Lanka A eventually made 330 in response to India A's mammoth first-innings total of 452/6 declared. By the time stumps arrived, India A extended their overall lead to 170 runs, reaching 48 for no loss in their second essay.
Sai Sudharsan, who smashed a century in the first innings as an opener, had a minor setback and retired hurt on seven. However, Devdutt Padikkal (20 not out) and Ayush Pandey (20 not out) negotiated the remaining overs flawlessly to keep the visitors in absolute control.
