India A vs West Indies A: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Navdeep Saini guide visitors to win in second unofficial ODI, gain 2-0 series lead
FirstpostThe third unofficial ODI between India A and West Indies A will be played at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua on Tuesday. North Sound: Openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shubman Gill struck fine half-centuries before Navdeep Saini’s fifer guided India A to a 65-run win over West Indies A in the second unofficial ODI of the five-match series here. The home team’s decision to invite India A to bat on Sunday night backfired, as Gaikwad and Gill shared 151 runs for the opening wicket to set up a total of 255 for eight at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Saini, who came into bowl as second change, then rattled West Indies A’s backbone by dismissing Sunil Ambris, Roston Chase and Jonathan Carter in quick time to reduce the hosts to 77 for five.
