Bloemfontein: The First Test match between South Africa A and India A ended in a draw after rain played spoilsport on the fourth and final day, here on Friday.

South Africa A, who were put in to bat, posted 509/7 on the back of captain Pieter Mal’n’s 163 and Tony de Zor’i’s 117. For India A, speedsters Navdeep Saini and Arzan Nagwaswalla scalped two wickets each.

India A then responded solidly with the bat, with captain Priyank Panchal scoring a superb 96 and Abhimanyu Easwaran hitting a fantastic ton. Prithvi Shaw, meanwhile, hit a brisk 48 to set the tone for the side.

Easwaran’s ton (103) and Panchal’s 96 had taken India A to 308/4 at stumps on Day 3.

On Day 4 of the First Test between India A and South Africa A is a draw, the start of play was delayed due to rain, but the relentless rain meant that no play was possible on the final day.
