India A win the Tri-Nation A series title at Dambulla after Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s record-breaking 29-ball 94 against Sri Lanka A. The 15-year-old batter hits the fastest List A half-century of 11 balls, reaching that mark as India A build a major platform and post 377 in the final. Sooryavanshi’s knock features 10 fours and eight sixes and he adds 88 runs in boundaries, with a strike rate reported at 324.14. He falls short of a century, dismissing for 94 off 29 balls.
Sri Lanka A mount a chase but are held back by India A’s bowling, with Yash Thakur and Vipraj Nigam cited as key contributors. India A ultimately win by 66 runs.
In post-match remarks, Sooryavanshi says he plays “natural” cricket after a message from coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar and also makes a light comment suggesting he is not under pressure because “people” may not know his experience in 50-over cricket. Several reports also note that his explosive performance arrives after earlier on-field controversy involving Sri Lanka A, with the innings prompting widespread discussion on social media.
