Mackay (Australia): Middle-order batsman Kedar Jadhav powered his way to an unbeaten 83-ball 93 as India ‘A’ recovered from early blows to cruise past Australia’s National Performance Squad by six wickets in the quadraungular 50-over tournament, here on Saturday.

India ‘A’ are firm favourites to make it to the final with 16 points from five games.
Put into bat, NPS managed a modest 207 for eight in 50 overs with speedster Varun Aaron recording the best figures of 3-58.
India crossed the target in 38.2 overs with Jadhav adding 135-runs for the fourth wicket with Shreyas Iyer (62) to make short work of an easy target.
Sam Harper was the top-scorer with 72 off 80 balls with six boundaries while Clint Hinchcliffe contributed 43 with six boundaries.
India ‘A’ were initially in a spot of bother after being reduced to 41 for 3 by new ball bowler Tom O’Donnell (4-28).
Openers Mandeep Singh (4), Karun Nair (14) and skipper Manish Pandey (10) were out in quick succession when Shreyas joined hands.
While Jadhav hit 10 boundaries, Shreyas showed a different side to his game by dropping anchor as he held up one end rotating the strike and hitting the occasional boundary.
