India A began their tour of England with a big win in their first warm-up game against the ECB XI and followed with a stunning batting effort in the 2nd warm-up against Leicestershire ahead of the ‘A’ Team Tri-Series. Openers Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal struck big hundreds as India A crossed the 200-run mark by the 25th over. The scoring rate was over eight runs an over throughout the innings with Shubman Gill also having hit with a 54-ball 86 to help India A finish on 458/4 in their 50 overs.

All the stats and numbers recorded during India A’s riot over the Leicestershire team:

The previous highest List A score for India A was 433/3 against South Africa A in 2013 which is also the highest List A score by an International ‘A’ team . The previous highest conceded by Leicestershire was 409/7 to Nottinghamshire during this year’s Royal London One-Day Cup.
