IND-A vs AUS-A 2nd Unofficial ODI: The World No.1 T20I batter Abhishek Sharma opened the innings for the host during the second unofficial ODI against Australia A in Kanpur, but got out on a golden duck. Jack Edwards took his wicket. Will Sutherland took the catch as Shreyas Iyer won the toss and chose to bat first.
The Indian fans had high expectations from him post his brilliant performance in the Asia Cup 2025, but he failed to fire with the bat.
Besides him, Prabsimran Singh also fell cheaply during the second ODI. Sutherland took his wicket after scoring just one run off 10 balls in the 3rd over. Lachlan Shaw took Prabsimran's catch.
India A skipper Shreyas Iyer came into bat at the no.4 position, and he too couldn't do much. Iyer, who had smashed 110 runs off 83 balls during the first match, scored eight runs off 13 balls.
Jack Edwards dismissed Iyer on the third ball of the sixth over.
Tilak Varma, Harshit Rana, and Arshdeep Singh, who were part of India's Asia Cup squad, will also be seen in action in this match.
