India A eye final tri-series berth in last game

Eyeing a spot in the tri-series final, the <g data-gr-id="10">Unmukt</g> Chand-led India A will look to sort out its batting woes and patchy form when it takes on a struggling South Africa A in the last league match here today. Having played three games with just one win and two humiliating losses against Australia A, India A would be hoping to cross the line against the South Africans, whose morale has been hit by the hospitalisation of 10 of its players due to food poisoning. The players were discharged from a city private hospital after treatment. South Africa A’s league matches against Australia A, who are already awaiting their opponents in the title clash on August 14, were moved twice after reworking. India A started with 119-run loss against the Uman Khawaja-led <g data-gr-id="13">side,</g> but did well to bounce back in the next match against S Africa A, to win by 8 wickets.
