Konstas, Webster Knocks Help Australia A Beat India A By Six Wickets, Win Series 2-0
Melbourne Cricket Ground: An unbeaten 73 from teenaged batter Sam Konstas and 46 not out from Beau Webster helped Australia A beat India A by six wickets in the second four-day game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and win the series 2-0.
Previously, wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel gave some hope to India A through a gritty 68 off 122 balls, his second fifty of this game coming under pressure. He was also helped by contributions from Nitish Kumar Reddy (38), Tanush Kotian (44) and Prasidh Krishna (29) in stitching a lower-order rearguard act as India A were bowled out for 229 in 77.5 overs.
More hopes were raised for an India A win when Krishna removed Marcus Harris and Cameron Bancroft for a pair of golden ducks in defence of 168. With Nathan McSweeney and Oliver Davies falling, Australia A were reduced to 73/4, but Konstas’ hitting an important half-century helped him anchor the chase, with support coming in from Webster.
