Tri-Nation Series Final: India A’s road to the final
India A will face Sri Lanka A in the final of the tri-nation series at Dambulla on Sunday after six rounds of matches. The Tilak Varma-led side came into the tournament as favourites to clinch the title but has not had the most straightforward path to the summit clash.
In the first game, India A came out on top by the barest of margins, defeating Sri Lanka A by eight runs in a contest that the home side lost from a position of certain victory.
India A lost its next two games, first against Afghanistan A by four runs by DLS method followed by a Super Over defeat to Sri Lanka A in the reverse fixture.
Pushed to a corner and needing a victory to stay alive, India A got its campaign back on track with a 101-run victory against Afghanistan A and qualified for the final in the process.
