Pant, Kamboj, Suthar script dramatic finish

Bengaluru, Nov 2 (UNI) On a day that tested nerve, skill, and heart, India A found their heroes in Rishabh Pant, Abhishek Kamboj, and Manav Suthar — three men who turned pressure into poetry and guided their team to a thrilling three-wicket win over South Africa A in the first unofficial Test that ended at the Centre of Excellence here today.
Equation at the start of the final day: India A needed 156 runs, South Africa A needed six wickets. The pendulum was poised, the air thick with tension. One mistake could tilt the contest either way.
And South Africa A did make mistakes — costly ones. Pant was twice reprieved, first on 46 and again on 80, as the visitors let golden chances slip. The second drop, at leg gully off Prenelan Subrayen, proved especially painful — a simple chance straight into Senokwane’s midriff that popped out as he lost balance. Those misses would come back to haunt them.
