Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Sai Sudharsan star in India A's thumping win against Pakistan A
After being asked to bat first, the Pakistan A team could only score 205 before getting all-out in 48 overs. India A team pacer Rajvardhan Hangargekar stunned Pakistan early on with twin strikes to reduce them to 9/2 in 4 overs.
Opener Sahibzada Farhan (35) and Haseebullah Khan (27) then arrested the slide with a 36-run partnership. Riyan Parag separated them in the 13th over by dismissing Farhan.
Left-arm orthodox spinner Manav Suthar (3/36) then dismantled Pakistan's middle order with three wickets in the space of a few overs. Opposition skipper Mohammad Haris (15) was among the casualties.
Qasim Akram (48), Mubasir Khan (28), and Mehran Mumtaz (25) chipped in with valuable contributions in the lower order to help Pakistan reach 205. Rajvardhan Hangargekar stole the show in the bowling department by picking up a five-wicket haul.
In a modest chase, Abhishek Sharma (20) and Sai Sudharsan gave India a decent start with a 58-run opening stand. Mubasir Khan dismissed Sharma in the 12th over to provide Pakistan with a much-needed breakthrough.
But it was short-lived joy for the men in green as Nikin Jose (53) and Sudharshan stitched a 99-run partnership for the second wicket to help India cruise towards the target.
Sai Sudharsan (104*) then notched up his century in the company of Yash Dhull (21*) to take India over the line in 36.4 overs. The southpaw reached the milestone and finished the match in style by smashing two sixes.
