Allan Border Field: Anika Learoyd and Maddy Darke hit fifties each as Australia A successfully chased down a stiff target of 281 on day four of the one-off four-day game and beat India A by six wickets at the Allan Border Field on Sunday.

In the morning, Amy Edgar finished with her second five-for of the game to bowl India A out for 286 in 81.4 overs. India A had resumed day four on 260/8 and added a further 26 runs to their overnight tally before being bowled out.

In the chase, Anika (72), Maddy (68) and Rachel Trenaman (64) guided Australia A home. The contest had been finely balanced across the first three days, with both sides enjoying spells of dominance. But Australia A openers Rachel and skipper Tahlia Wilson (46) laid the platform for the improbable chase with a patient 117-run opening stand.
