Nabi strikes twice late as India A fight back on Day 1
Reported by Times of India Sports, not nibnow. We are not the publisher of this story, only the source is.
Nabi’s back‑to‑back wickets turned a difficult session into a momentum shift for India A, improving their chances in the match.
Auqib Nabi struck twice in successive deliveries towards the end of the day to remove nightwatchman Jayden Lennox and Tim Robinson for ducks. His late strikes gave India A some momentum after a tough day with the ball. At stumps, Curtis Heaphy was unbeaten on 37, while Matthew Boyle was yet to score.
India A is the secondary national cricket side that serves as a development platform for players aspiring to the senior team, and a nightwatchman is a lower‑order batsman sent in to protect specialist batters late in the day.
