Thanks to the innings by Tilak, India A posted a total of 380 and ended with the lead of 488 runs on the board. Apart from him, Pratham Singh slammed 122 runs while skipper Mayank Agarwal also hit a valiant half-century. Riyan Parag (20) and Shashwat Rawat (64*) also made vital contributions.

Earlier, in the first innings, India A posted a total of 290 runs on the board. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals, but it was Shams Mulani (89) and Tanush Kotian (53) who played a vital hand for the team and took them to a total of around 300 runs on the board.

India D then didn't have a great outing with the bat. They got all out for just 183 runs with Khaleel Ahmed and Aaqib Khan picking three wickets each. Devdutt Padikkal (94) was the top run-getter for his team in the innings, while Harshit Rana (31) was the second-leading run-getter.

India A then took command in the second innings, and with the way they batted, it's fair to say that they are in the driver's seat. They lost the first game of the tournament against India B and now would be keen to bag an important 6 points in the event.
