NEW DELHI: India A has been in dominant form throughout the league phase of the Emerging Asia Cup, making them the favorites to secure a spot in the final as they face Bangladesh A in the semifinal in Colombo on Friday.
What sets India’s performance apart is their ability to find multiple heroes stepping up in crucial moments. In the tournament opener against the United Arab Emirates (UAE), pacer Harshit Rana (4/41) and captain Yash Dhull (108) were the standout performers as India secured an eight-wicket victory.
The next match against Nepal saw left-arm spinner Nishant Sindhu (4/14) shine with the ball while openers B Sai Sudarshan (58) and Abhishek Sharma (87) delivered an outstanding partnership, leading India to a comprehensive nine-wicket win. All-rounder Rajvardhan Hangarkekar, the leading wicket-taker in the tournament with eight wickets, also contributed with three wickets in that match.
In a highly anticipated clash against Pakistan, India continued their impressive form and registered an eight-wicket victory. Hangarkekar once again played a crucial role with five wickets (5/42), while Sai Sudarshan (104) showcased his batting prowess with a remarkable century. Nikin Jose (53) and left-arm spinner Manav Suthar (3/36) played vital supporting roles in ensuring India’s success.
