India A off to an excellent start in their pursuit of 190 with openers Manan Vohra and Mayank Agarwal playing sensibly and have been successful in taking on the South African bowlers. Faf du Plessis has used as many as five bowlers so far, including leg-spinner Imran Tahir, who could turn the match in the visitor’s favour. India A are currently 96 for 1 at the end of 10 Overs. South Africans earlier set India A a target of 190 to win, courtesy of an unbeaten half-century from JP Duminy and hard-hitting from AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis.
