Thanks to Sooryavanshi’s explosive 20-ball 63 from the top of the order, India A amassed a huge first innings total before dismissing the hosts to claim a well-deserved series win.

Right out of the gates, openers Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hammered the top-line pacers, ripping away the old world record of a 12-ball 50 by Kaushalya Weeratane. The Bihar-born wonder kid smashed a fantastic 94 off a mere 29 balls – laced with 10 boundaries and 8 mammoth sixes. And what a start for the foundation set up for captain Tilak Varma, who then went about playing a patient knock of 67 off 90 balls with a late whirlwind cameo from Anukul Roy (39 off 15) to fire India A to a colossal 377/9.

Home team batting failed to keep the scoreboard moving as they were chasing a huge 378 to win. Despite being reduced to 48-3 early on with the likes of openers being picked up by the searing pace of Yash Thakur, Sri Lanka A rallied a little thanks to 52 runs from middle-order batsman Sadeera Samarawickrama and 62 runs from Wanuja Sahan. But the pressure of runs in the board was still on the home team as Vipraj Nigam grabbed the final wicket to wrap up the game for just 311 in 47.1 overs.
