Dambulla, June 15: India A will take on Sri Lanka A in the fourth match of the Tri-Nation A Series in Dambulla on Monday. Sri Lanka A captain Sahan Arachchige won the toss and chose to field first against an India A side led by Tilak Varma.
India A enter the contest looking to bounce back after a narrow defeat to Afghanistan A in their previous match. The rain-affected game ended in heartbreak for India, who lost by four runs under the DLS method despite posting a strong total.
Batters Prabhsimran Singh, Ruturaj Gaikwad and skipper Tilak Varma starred with the bat in that match, helping India A put up a challenging score. However, Afghanistan A's middle order held firm during the chase before rain interrupted play, leaving India A on the losing side. The match against Sri Lanka A offers them a chance to return to winning ways in the tournament.
