Ruturaj Gaikwad's Ton Steers India A to Narrow Win Over South Africa A

In the first unofficial ODI played on November 10, 2025, India A secured a thrilling 4-wicket win over South Africa A in Rajkot. Chasing a target of 286, India A were led by a composed century from Ruturaj Gaikwad, who scored 117 off 129 balls to anchor the successful run chase.

Earlier, South Africa A had posted 285/9 in their 50 overs, recovering impressively from a top-order collapse. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh had struck early to reduce the visitors to 53/5, but a fighting 77 from Dian Forrester, a 90 from Delano Potgieter, and a 59 from Bjorn Fortuin helped South Africa A post a competitive total.

In response, India A made a positive start through Gaikwad and Abhishek Sharma's 64-run opening stand. Abhishek's quickfire 31 provided early momentum, but the dismissals of Riyan Parag and captain Tilak Varma briefly stalled the progress. However, Nitish Kumar Reddy's counter-attacking 37 and Nishant Sindhu's unbeaten 29 ensured a smooth finish for India A, who sealed the win with 3 balls to spare.
