Match Report

That's all from our side for this game. See you soon.
Will Sutherland: It was very good to bat with Nathan, it was a wonderful innings, and we were able to get a good total. We just had to bat a fair bit of time and keep the ball along the ground. Mahli set the tone beautifully and the other boys followed him.
Nathan McSweeney, Player of the Match: A little bit of trouble early but Will played really well and we ended up a good total on the board. We just needed to make sure we batted as close to 50 overs as possible. I think their spinners are world class in India, so that was a huge challenge. So I was going deep in the crease. Batting with Will - he is a lot taller - we complement each other and that worked really well.
Ruturaj Gaikwad: I think we lost three wickets in powerplay, which was a big setback. After that they kept coming at us. I think our pacers bowled really well and we take that confidence into the next game. It was a good score to chase but credit to them, they bowled well upfront.
8.49pm A comprehensive win for Australia A, by 125 runs. Batting first, they were in deep trouble at 87 for 5 but McSweeney and Sutherland revived them. When it was time to bowl, Beardman shaved off India A's top order. Patidar scored a fifty but that was about it. No one else stood up and India A were bowled out for a mere 149 in 31.4 overs.
