India A Cruises to Victory Over Nepal, Securing Comfortable Win in ACC Emerging Asia Cup Group B Encounter. Led by the stellar performance of Nishant Sindhu with the ball and dominant batting from the openers, India A successfully chased down 168 runs with 9 wickets in hand. With this triumph at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, the Indian team moves to the top of Group B, surpassing Pakistan A, and maintains their unbeaten record in the tournament.
India A entered the match as clear favorites, building on their previous comprehensive victory against UAE A. The team displayed exceptional performances in all departments, making them a formidable force against Nepal led by Rohit Paudel. The Nepalese team struggled, being bowled out for 167 runs, with Nishant Sindhu claiming four wickets, including the key wicket of Paudel, who scored 65 runs. Paudel was the lone shining star in Nepal's innings as no other player managed to reach 40 runs.

The duo dominated the bowlers and forged a magnificent 139-run partnership before Sharma was dismissed by Paudel for 87 runs, narrowly missing out on a century. Dhruv Jurel joined Sudharsan at the crease, and their unbeaten knocks of 58 and 21 runs, respectively, guided India A to victory in just 22.1 overs.
