India A vs Australia A 2nd Unofficial ODI Highlights: Australia A bounced back in style to level the series 1-1, following a heavy 171-run defeat in the previous game. On Friday, Tilak Varma once again showcased his rich form, holding the innings together amid little support. He fell short of a well-deserved century, and India A were bundled out for 246 in 45.5 overs.
In reply, Australia A went berserk. Though Jake Fraser-McGurk was dismissed soon after a rain break, the visitors maintained their momentum and cruised to a nine-wicket win via the DLS method. Chasing a revised target of 160, Mackenzie Harvey (70* off 49) and Cooper Connolly (50* off 31) sealed victory in just 16.4 overs.
The series now stands poised at 1-1, with Sunday’s clash set up as the decider—weather permitting.
