India A vs Afghanistan A Live Score: India A will be desperate to bounce back when they take on Afghanistan A in the fifth match of the Tri-Nation A Series in Sri Lanka at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium on Wednesday. After suffering back-to-back defeats, another loss would end India’s hopes of reaching the final.

India A entered the competition after a heartbreaking Super Over defeat against Sri Lanka A. In a match filled with controversy and drama, Suryansh Shedge and Vipraj Nigam rescued the side from trouble with a century stand before the match was tied and ultimately decided in the Super Over. Heated exchanges and disagreements with the umpires overshadowed the thrilling contest when youngster Vaibhav Sooryavanshi got involved in a post-match altercation.

Captain Tilak Varma will expect his batting unit to provide a stronger start, with Ruturaj Gaikwad and Prabhsimran Singh shouldering the responsibility at the top. A middle order featuring Ayush Badoni, Nishant Sindhu and Shedge showed signs of promise against Sri Lanka A, while Arshad Khan’s impressive bowling in the death over offered positives despite the defeat.

Afghanistan A, led by Imran Mir, have some dangerous players in Hassan Eisakhil, Bahir Shah and goalkeeper Mohammad Ishaq. Their spin attack, led by veteran left-arm spinner Zahir Khan, could prove to be a big challenge on the Dambulla surface.

With a place in the final hanging in the balance, India A will have to quickly get over the disappointment of Monday’s defeat and put in a complete performance in what promises to be a high-pressure encounter.
