India A is playing against Sri Lanka A. Tilak Varma is the captain of India A.
Sri Lanka A pick up another important wicket as Tilak Varma falls for 67. Looking to accelerate in the final 10 overs, the India A captain goes for a slog sweep against Wanuja Sahan but fails to get the shot right. The ball goes high towards deep mid-wicket, where Avishka Fernando completes a straightforward catch. Tilak's innings once again ends after a fifty, adding to a series of useful scores without converting one into a hundred. His dismissal leaves India A at 288/5 after 41 overs.
After a quiet period, India A begin to find boundaries again through Tilak Varma and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Tilak first gets four runs when a drive through the off side slips past the fielder at mid-off. Ruturaj then breaks the pressure with a clean six over long-off after stepping out to a flighted delivery. Tilak continues the momentum a little later, hitting straight back over the bowler for another boundary. The pair steadily rebuild the innings and take India A to 179/2 after 19 overs.
