**Canberra, Australia –** India dominated a rain-affected practice match against the Prime Minister’s XI at Manuka Oval, securing a convincing victory. After winning the toss and electing to bowl, India restricted the PM’s XI to a challenging total, despite a blistering century from Sam Konstas (107 runs off 97 balls). Konstas’s knock, punctuated by several powerful boundaries and a six, was the highlight of the PM’s XI innings. However, a middle-order collapse, orchestrated by Harshit Rana (who took four wickets), prevented the home side from posting a significantly higher score. Other notable Indian bowlers included Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep, who made early breakthroughs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul opened the batting for India, with Jaiswal displaying impressive form before being dismissed for 45. Rahul, however, continued to impress with several stylish shots. While the full Indian batting order’s performance is not detailed, the report highlights a strong Indian bowling and fielding effort.
The match was briefly interrupted by rain, but play resumed and India completed their victory. The exact final scores were not provided in the original text. The detailed scorecard will be available to subscribers only.
