India A look to seal series against Bangladesh A
engaluru: An upbeat India A will be looking to keep the winning momentum going and clinch the three-match series against Bangladesh A in the second 50-over List A match here on Friday. In the first match, the visitors were floored by a splendid all-round show by Gurkeerat Singh Mann-led India A to a 96-run win at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Wednesday. But it was not all smooth sailing for the Indian team as several of its top batsmen, including skipper Unmukt Chand, failed to deliver with the bat. But the focus will undoubtedly be on senior batter Suresh Raina who is utlising this series as a tune-up for India’s upcoming against South Africa. On Wednesday, India A notched up an imposing 322 for 7, after losing the toss, with half-centuries by Mayank Agarwal (56), Sanju Samson (73), Singh (65) and Rishi Dhawan (56 not out). (IANS)
