Panchal Hits Ton As 2nd Unofficial Test Between India 'A' And South Africa 'A' Ends In Draw

MYSURU: Opener Priyank Panchal struck a fine century on the final day of the four day match as the second unofficial Test between India 'A' and South Africa 'A' ended in a tame draw here on Friday.

The draw enabled India 'A' to pocket the two-match series 1-0.

Gujarat batsman Panchal made 109 (192 balls, 9x4s, 4x6s) as India 'A' declared their second innings at 202 for three in 70 overs, thus extending their lead to 219 runs.

Panchal was involved in two big partnerships -- 94 runs for the opening wicket with Abhimanyu Easwaran (37 off 93 balls, 3x4s) and 92 for the third with Karun Nair, who remained unbeaten on 51 (99 balls, 3x4s). With no outright result possible, the match was called off after the home side declared their second innings with tea break in sight.
