three wins in three games for Australia A and they book their spot in the final. Another loopy full-toss, which is flicked to the right of mid-on as Ferguson strikes the winning runs..

That's all we have for you. Do tune in tomorrow. Until then, goodbye and good luck!
Agar, Man of the Match: I am not worried about my spot. I am okay and it is a good team to be part of. I think you have to be a little bit faster on this wicket. Patel and I bowled the side spinners and we tried to quicken up.
Khawaja: We have played really good wicket. Today was one of our toughest games and I am very happy.
4:55pm Chand: The wicket was turning and we felt we were 25 runs short. We did not bat well in the middle overs. 270-280 would have been a good total. We kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Credit to Ashton. We could have rotated the strike well. The next match is really important for us. We have played two matches together and the boys require rest.
4:50pm: Australia A got off to a racy start with Khawaja and Head crunching eight fours in five overs; Lynn's 63 headed up the consolidation. But India A hit back through Axar and Karn.
Zampa, aided by Ferguson, then took charge of the chase, hitting 54 off 49 balls. Zampa fell after levelling the scores but the job was done by then. It was Agar's maiden List-A five-wicket haul, though, which had set it up for Australia A. Presentation to follow..
Lynn: It was good to spend some time in the middle. Hopefully, I can keep doing it, going forward. The wicket was two paced and slowed up but the boys found a way to win. I thought it was going to be difficult chase. I thought 260 was par but it turned out to be short.
Manish: "This Australian A team looks so balanced, won all the matches quite convincingly."

Sandeep to Zampa, OUT
Zampa has missed a full-toss, which dips in late. He targets the leg side with a flick and misses. The ball brushes the pad and disturbs the stumps. I guess that was a slower ball. Zampa has done his job for Australia A, though

Dhawan sucks pace off this length ball outside off, check-pushed it to the covers. Zampa wants a speedy single, he is sent back by Ferguson. A direct hit could have consumed Zampa, who wasn't even in the frame. Chand was the fielder
