India A’s magnificent run continues over the visitors South Africa A as they comfortably registered a victory in the second unofficial one-dayer by 2 wickets.
The match was shortened to a 21-overs per side affair after the wet outfield delayed the start of the game. The visitors posted a competitive total of 162 batting first courtesy George Linde’s swashbuckling 52 off 25 which included a four and five mighty sixes.
India A’s reply was led by Ishan Kishan and Anmolpreet Singh who got scores of 55 from 24 and 30 off 19 respectively. To take the team over the final barrier all-rounder Krunal Pandya carried his bat with an unbeaten 23 off 15 deliveries.
One more win here and India A will seal the 5-match series. Can they do it tomorrow? We will have to wait and find out.

Fantasy picks from India A-
Ishan Kishan’s pyrotechnics in the last game proved handy. The Jharkhand skipper has amassed 92 runs from 2 innings in this series with a 55 in the last game being his highest score.
Axar Patel the all-rounder has 3 wickets to his name along with 70 runs with the bat.
Yuzvendra Chahal got a 5-fer in the first game of the series. He will be the prime bowler once again in the side.
Shubman Gill showed a glimpse of his talent in the last match with a 46. He is definitely looking for a big score.
Fantasy picks from South Africa A-
Opener Reeza Hendricks is the only player in the series to get a ton. He got out cheaply in the last game but has 111 runs from 2 innings.
Heinrich Klaasen is a big match player. He has got 89 runs from 2 innings in this series so far.
Skipper Temba BAvuma, George Linde are other reliable bets in the batting line-up.
Beuran Hendricks, Junior Dala and B Fortuin have combinedly picked up 9 wickets between.
