India A and New Zealand A Draw First Unofficial Test After Bad Light Halts Play
The first unofficial Test between India A and New Zealand A ended in a draw due to bad light, with New Zealand A finishing at 187 for 9 while chasing 313. India A recovered from a 204-run first-innings deficit, largely thanks to Devdutt Padikkal's 199 runs and Auqib Nabi's three wickets. Despite Nabi's incisive bowling and India setting a strong target of 516 in their second innings, fading light prevented a possible India A victory. The second unofficial Test will begin on October 31 in Christchurch.
