Despite VK Vineeth’s resilient 63 runs, India A suffered a 65-run defeat against Afghanistan in the last league match of the Under-19 Tri-Series. Afghanistan posted a competitive 233/8, and India A faltered at 168, setting up a re-match in the finals.

VK Vineeth's valiant 63 could not prevent India A from succumbing to a 65-run defeat against Afghanistan in the last league encounter of the Under-19 Tri-Series on Thursday.

Afghanistan set a challenging total of 233 for eight, capitalizing on solid half-centuries from skipper Mahboob Khan and Azizullah Miakhil.

India A struggled in their chase, collapsing to 168 all out, with top-order dismissals by Abdul Aziz and Roohullah Arab compounding their woes.
