India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Nearly a spectacular grab from Nehal! At backward point, flying to his right, and he stretches out with his right hand. Nearly gets it, but can't make it stick.

Economical from Gurjapneet first up.

Harsh Dubey will need to push this score near 150.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Slower ball the undoing of Ramandeep, and that's the last of India's power-hitters! Tries to go for a big hit, but far too early into it. Loops straight into the air and easy for the wicketkeeper to grab.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Big mix-up! Ramandeep is sent back, there was never a run there. He lucks out as the bowler dislodges the stumps without control of the ball. It's a tight call for the third umpire, but he gives the benefit to the runner. Safe for now, is Ramandeep.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: This has been a brutal collapse. Nehal Wadhera tries to attack but just walks past one, and is easily stumped.

From 91/2 to 104/6.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Oh, that didn't look out! But Masood gets his man! Ashutosh Sharma had played out a maiden in the previous over, and the spinner gets him! Looked like he was outside the line of off-stump when that hit him high on the pad and he's not happy. That didn't look out to the naked eye, but the Pakistan players plead with the umpire and get the wicket.

102/5 now. Trouble for India.

45(28) for Suryavanshi, and he's disappointed with himself. Was finding his form!

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: That's more like it from Vaibhav! Gets a couple in his arc, and is able to hammer two down the ground for boundaries.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Suryavanshi gets one overpitched, and it's an easy swing of the bat to pick up 6!

Later in the over though, Naman Dhir chips one to covers. Soft, given how well he was hitting it. Falls on 35, and was looking good. Big wicket for Pakistan.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Dhir taking the lead here with the run-scoring! If Suryavanshi won't get you, the rest of this batting can. Dhir opens up against Muqeem the left-arm leggie, picks up four with a sweep then a big slog for six.

68/1 off 8 overs.

Looking for a quick end to the powerplay.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Ubaid strings together a few dot balls after the four. 6 off the first over.

India A: Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Priyansh Arya, Nehal Wadhera, Naman Dhir, Jitesh Sharma(w/c), Ramandeep Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Harsh Dubey, Yash Thakur, Gurjapneet Singh, Suyash Sharma

Pakistan A: Mohammad Naeem, Maaz Sadaqat, Yasir Khan, Mohammad Faiq, Irfan Khan(c), Saad Masood, Ghazi Ghori(w), Shahid Aziz, Ubaid Shah, Ahmed Daniyal, Sufiyan Muqeem

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Should have the result from the toss soon. Any changes for either of these teams? Extra bowlers to be involved in this game?

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: While the focus is undoubtedly on Suryavanshi, there is so much talent in this Indian team. Priyansh Arya is capable of being just as destructive with these small boundaries, and Naman Dhir was very impressive at number three. Nehal Wadhera and Ashutosh Sharma are either side of Jitesh Sharma, while Ramandeep Singh's all-round talents are immense as well.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score:

Jitesh Sharma (c & wk), Naman Dhir (vc), Priyansh Arya, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Nehal Wadhera, Suryansh Shedge, Ramandeep Singh, Harsh Dubey, Ashutosh Sharma, Yash Thakur, Gurjapneet Singh, Vijay Kumar Vyshak, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Abhisek Porel (wk), Suyash Sharma

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Match will start in just an hour, with the toss in 30 minutes. A late match here, compared to the afternoon games these teams started off with. As mentioned, expect the teams wanting to chase – but the lights will mean the seamers will come in that much more. The question is if any changes are expected.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: India and Pakistan's massive scores ensured they held on while defending those scores, but in the more even matches, it has been the chasing teams which have gotten the job done. With these two teams being a lot more even in terms of bowling, chasing might be the way to go at this venue. With the small boundaries and lights, expect the choice to be bowling first.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Over in the other group fixture, it was a tight, relatively low-scoring fixture, which went all the way down to the last ball. Chasing 155, with 2 wickets in hand, Oman got the job done in the shaky last over. What this means is that Oman will keep dreams of qualifying through, but would need a lot of help. Nevertheless, that was the curtain-raiser for this match, and the focus shifts to this one now.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Updates: In the IPL, the best bowlers in the world dealt with Suryavanshi by slowing things up and bowling it outside his arc. However, Suryavanshi displayed an Abhishek Sharma-esque bat-swing to power balls over the offside vs the UAE as well. Knowing that he has to improve on that, he showed positive signs as he wasn't slogging towards leg wildly. An added adaptation to deal with slower balls will make him an even stronger weapon.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Updates: When you play the way he has been playing at 14, the weight of expectations can be crushing. Mental strength and staying in the moment is so crucial for someone making waves the way Suryavanshi is, and as is management of expectations. Doing well? You can always do better. That is the message the dazzling southpaw has always grown up with, and an internal mantra.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Updates: With ball in hand, the pressure was never really on India with 298 runs to defend. Nevertheless, Gurjapneet Singh was very impressive, taking 3 wickets and bowling well in all phases of the game. With India needing some backup and some prospects in their seam bowling departments, all these performances will certainly be under the scanner as the ranks try to make their case. Ramandeep Singh and Yash Thakur were the other seamers who played in the opening match.

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Updates: Pakistan also enjoyed a very significant victory over Oman after putting up 220 in their first innings. While their batting with be happy, the bowling will be under the pump against a very powerful IPL-experienced Indian lineup. Pakistan will feel they will have the ability to take the fight to India, given the strength of their batting performance and the fact they can back their bowlers to keep India quieter.
