This time, Raghvi and Tejal got into the rescue act after Kiran Navgire, Shweta Sehrawat and Uma Chetry fell inside first ten overs.
The duo of Raghvi and Tejal hit seven boundaries each in their respective fifties and carry India ‘A’ to 147 before the latter was dismissed in the 28th over by Kate. Four overs later, Raghvi fell after being castled by Charli, with doubts arising on India ‘A’ crossing 200-run mark.
