A commendable victory for India A team chasing Australia A (IND A vs AUS A) team's first innings: 316 runs at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. The high-scoring encounter between these teams was more entertaining because of Prabhsimran Singh, who played a match-deciding102-run innings against 68 deliveries, maintaining a strike rate of 150.00. His innings was laced with eight 4s and seven 6s.

The Australia A team, captained by Jack Edwards, registered 316 runs in the first innings of the match. The Aussie skipper himself scored 89 off 75, which was the highest individual score of the match for the team. Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana did their bowling part well by clinching 6 wickets together. Arshdeep took 3, and Harshit took 3. Ayush Badoni claimed a brace. Arshdeep was the best bowler of the game, as he spent only 38 runs in 10 overs, including a couple of maiden overs, and claimed 3 scalps.

The target of 317 runs was stiff enough to chase down. But India A was ready with their own version of attacking batting. For the opening pair, Prabhsimran and Abhishek Sharma stitched an 83-run partnership in 11.2 overs.

PBKS praised the effort

Australia A team found some glimpses of hope as they quickly got rid of Sharma and Tilak Varma. But Prabhsimran Singh was then in full flow, making strokes on both sides of the field. The opener showed no mercy for Cooper Connolly, Tanveer Sangha, or Jack Edwards. On the first ball of the 20th over, he made a poor connection on a Tanveer Sangha delivery and was caught out. Prabhsimran departed for a well-made 102, which was for a winning cause.

Punjab Kings, the runner-up of the previous Indian Premier League season, from their official social media platforms shared an appreciation post for the batter's heroic innings in Kanpur. In the IPL 2025, the batter was one of the key instruments for PBKS' dominating run in the group stage.
