Jordan's ball was going down the leg side and Ruturaj could not resist himslef to go for a boundary in the first ball he faced. However, a briilaint catch from Josh Phillipe ended the inning for the India A captain on a duck.

Earlier, Australia A captain Nathan McSweeney won the toss and decided to bowl first on a wicket which suppose to have some help for the fast bowlers.
