Australia A posts 275, India A collapses for 206 in Puducherry

The first innings of the second unofficial ODI saw Australia A compile 275 runs in 49.5 overs. Sam Constas led the scoring with a fluent 67, while Joshi Phillips contributed 58, bolstered by eight fours. Captain Nathan McSwine added a quick 32. India A’s reply was hampered by early wickets; Devdutt Padikkal fell for a single, and Sai Sudharsan was out for 13. Captain Rituraaj Gayakwad managed 12 before being caught by Rilee Meredith. Rajat Patidar’s 67 was the only substantial knock, but the rest of the line‑up could not sustain momentum, resulting in a total of 206 all out. Australian bowlers Spencer Johnson (3/35) and Rilee Meredith (2/31) claimed key wickets, sealing a 69‑run victory.
