After losing Sooryavanshi and Prabhsimran, Sri Lanka A might've thought that they have a tight grip on this encounter. However, both Ruturaj Gaikwad and Priyansh Arya are still there and haven't looked troubled at all.
Arya has struck a six and two boundaries already, while Gaikwad knows how to pace an innings. After all, the CSK captain averages 58.83 in List-A cricket.
After 8 overs, India A are 35/2 (Gaikwad 2*, Arya 17*)
IND A vs SL A Live: Prabhsimran OUT 🚨

Both openers are gone!
Just after Sooryavanshi failed, it is now Prabhsimran Singh, who has also been dismissed. Sri Lanka A know they have an upper hand now, sending back both dangerous openers.
Karunaratne surprised Prabhsimran with an awkward bouncer. The PBKS batter had no clue and he ends up poking it without any real purpose. It hurried him and Samarawickrama takes a good catch.
Prabhsimran Singh - 2 off 11 OUT.
Ruturaj Gaikwad is the new batter in, joining Priyansh Arya

Heartbreak for everyone who were hyped for Sooryavanshi
Sri Lanka A are cock-a-hoop, and they surely deserve to be. After all, they have got the big fish of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi within the first four overs.
Pacer Shiraz bowled full to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Vaibhav tried to belt it straight down the ground for a big hit. But his bat turned in his hands on contact, so instead of power, it flew off the face toward mid-off. Sri Lanka A captain Sahan Arachchige read it well, dived forward, and took a brilliant low catch inches from the turf.
Big wicket - Sooryavanshi gone for 14 off 12, just when India needed him to kick on.

The fact that India A have opted to bat first will excite fans quite much. This is the opening match of the tri-nation series that also features Afghanistan A.
The news from the centre is that Tilak Varma won the toss and elected to bat first. Sooryavasnhi is set to come out to bat first alongside Prabhsimran Singh. Interestingly, Priyansh Arya is slated to bat at three, which might or might not work for him.
India’s newest obsession arrives in blue. 🇮🇳 💙
