IND-A vs PAK-A: Watch - Riyan Parag Grabs Stunner; Brings India Back In The Game With Back-to-back Wickets

The final of the Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2023 is currently taking place between India A and Pakistan Shaheens at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The Boys in Green after being put to bat first showed great intent but the man with the golden arm Riyan Parag brought them back into the game. 

Pakistan Shaheens had a rollicking start with the bat as Saim Ayub (59) and Sahibzada Farhan (65) stitched 121 runs for the opening partnership. After the wickets of the openers, another partnership was forming and the Boys in Green were again asserting their authority.

Omair Yousuf looked dangerous and was smashing Indian bowlers for fun. But skipper Yash Dhull handed the ball to Riyan Parag and he repaid the faith of his captain by picking wickets on two consecutive balls to bring his team back in the game. 

On the second ball of the 28th over, Riyan Parag sent back Omair Yousuf for 35 runs in an outstanding caught and bowled dismissal. If this was not enough, he then removed Qasim Akram on the very next ball to jolt Pakistan Shaheens. The batter tried to hit for six but ended up getting caught in the deep.
