India A's batting woes against Sri Lanka A continued in Dambulla as the hosts tightened their grip on the match. The middle order, once again, came under serious pressure, with Nishant Sindhu and Ruturaj Gaikwad falling to sharp catches and a well-executed delivery, respectively. The Indian dugout looks tense, and the team is in huge trouble, with only Suryansh Shedge and Anukul Roy at the crease. The Sri Lanka A captain, Sahan Arachchige, deserves credit for his strategic field placements and bowling changes, which have made a significant difference in the match. The Indian batters' struggles against spin bowlers, particularly those who can keep the pressure on, have been a recurring theme in this tournament. With the match in the balance, India A's last hope lies in the hands of Suryansh and Anukul, who need to stay at the crease and put up a fight if they are to have any chance of saving the match.
