The in-form Prithvi Shaw flourished yet again as India A notched up a convincing five-wicket victory over New Zealand A in the first unofficial ODI here on Wednesday. A day after being picked as the injured Shikhar Dhawan\u2019s replacement in India\u2019s ODI squad for the assignment against New Zealand\u2019s senior team, the 20-year-old Shaw smashed 48 off 35 balls to lay the foundation for the visiting team\u2019s chase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the ball, Mohammed Siraj was the most successful bowler for India A, picking up three wickets for 33 runs in 6.3 overs, while there were two wickets apiece for Khaleel Ahmed and Axar Patel. Their efforts helped India A bowl out New Zealand A for 230 with nine balls to spare in the 50-over match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quite a few home team players got off the blocks easily but could not go on to make substantial contributions. Rachin Ravindra top-scored with 49 off 58 balls and skipper Tom Bruce made 47 off 55.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The visitors had raced to 79 in 9.1 overs when Shaw fell to James Neesham. The 20-year-old Shaw, who came into the match after a 100-ball 150 in a practice game, hit five fours and three sixes. Captain Shubman Gill got out after getting his eye in and after that, Samson showed his prowess, smoking two maximums and three boundaries. Mumbai player Suryakumar, who can also use the big handle to good effect, struck three fours and two sixes to take his team close to victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
