In an exhilarating encounter on the ACC T20 Rising Groups Asia Cup 2024, India A triumphed over Pakistan A by a slender margin of seven runs. The match, held on the Oman Cricket Academy Floor on Saturday (October 19), featured a standout second when Ramandeep Singh executed a shocking catch to dismiss Yasir Khan, a pivotal second that shifted the momentum in favour of India A.
Ramandeep Singh grabs a stunner
On the primary ball of the ninth over, Pakistani opener Yasir Khan flicked a shot that appeared destined for the boundary. Nonetheless, Ramandeep, positioned at mid-wicket, lined vital floor and leaped to his proper to tug off a shocking one-handed diving catch. The Indian gamers erupted in celebration at Ramandeep’s exceptional effort, and he too reveled within the second.
Yasir, who was well-set on the crease, had scored 33 runs earlier than spinner Nishant Sandhu managed to dismiss him.

Yasir’s dismissal put immense strain on the middle-order, and regardless of a valiant effort from Arafat Minhas and a quick cameo by Abdul Samad, the group struggled to regain management. India A’s bowling assault, spearheaded by right-arm pacer Anshul Kamboj, was equally formidable. Kamboj delivered an excellent efficiency, taking 3 wickets for 33 runs in his 4 overs, stopping Pakistan A from constructing any momentum. His constant breakthroughs dashed their hopes of a comeback, securing a 7-run victory for India A.
Buoyed by this hard-fought win towards their arch-rivals, the Tilak Verma-led Indian group will now flip focus to its subsequent group-stage match towards the UAE on Monday, October 21.
