What a finish! It screams towards the blockhole and all Botha can do is to jab it to the left of Kumar who makes a half-stop and ends up palming it towards Kaif, running towards him from short cover. Kaif swoops on the ball, moves towards the stumps and lunges forward to affect the run out. Game over! India A players get all animated after stealing a win by the most slender of all margins. Kaif throws the ball high in the air, Badrinath is near him to congratulate, the rest of the team-mates rush to mob Kaif. The packed house clear their throat. What a game.

Praveen to Botha, FOUR runs
Another one. Botha is turning it on here. A slower delivery, full in length and Botha thrusts his left foot out and drills it to wide midwicket boundary. The target is now just 2. What a end to this enthralling game.
