India A vs Sri Lanka A Live Score, Tri Series 2026: Playing XI and toss coming up from Dambulla

IND vs SL Tri Nation A Series Today Match Live Cricket Score Updates: India A will hope that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi recovers his Indian Premier League (IPL) when they take on Sri Lanka A for the second time in the ongoing tri-series on Monday. In the last match against the hosts, India had just survived by the skin of their teeth and won by 8 runs after the Lankans imploded in the run chase, which they were in cruise control for most of the time

Against Afghanistan A though, India’s luck ran out when they lost the match by 4 runs due to the DLS method in a rain-truncated match. After Prabhsimran Singh (84), Ruturaj Gaikwad (66) and Tilak Varma (66) helped India post 349/9 after 49 overs, they looked to be the favourites.

But the Indian bowlers failed to rein in the Afghanistan batters who stayed ahead of the DLS par score as the weather threatened to play spoilsport. Captain Imran Mir (75) and Bahir Shah (51) stayed unbeaten as the Indian bowlers couldn’t take enough wickets to put the DLS situation in their favour. Thus after the rain came, Afghanistan were 3 runs ahead of the par score and ended up winning the match by 4 runs.

India A vs Sri Lanka A Live Score: Atul Wassan on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

"He is a one in a million generational talent. Can you imagine the maturity and audacity of this boy? He reminds me of 16-year-old Sachin Tendulkar.

"I saw Sachin and that game maturity and audacity to take the bull by the horns (during the 1989 tour of Pakistan). God has blessed him with X factor along with the game & power," Wassan told PTI in an exclusive chat on Tuesday.

India A vs Sri Lanka A Live Score: Micheal Clarke on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

"He will be good enough to play all three formats and dominate in all of them for India. He's too talented and reads the game so well. In the Second Qualifier, he didn't have the perfect batting conditions. He still managed to get a 90 off 40-odd balls. He showed game awareness and the skill to not just stand and smack every ball for six in the power play. It's going to be tough for Rajasthan to keep him because everyone wants him.

"He's definitely the talk of this year's IPL. The poor kid was in tears when RR got knocked out, but he can hold his head high, as he had a stellar year. If the big auction was there this year and he was in it, I don't think you pay anyone else more than him," Clarke said on the Beyond 23 Cricket podcast.

"I have seen a couple of innings in the U19 Challenger Trophy. But from last year's IPL and the way he bats, the way he executes those shots, it's really exciting to be very honest for a 15-year-old. And to all the world-class bowlers, the way he has faced and the way he has succeeded is unbelievable how talented he is. So, I am really excited. But personally, we let him come, let's see actually what helps him. Whenever we observe something, we will definitely try to help him in only as much as he needs,” Kotak said.

“See, as a batting coach or any coach, it's always a challenge because at this level the players have their own thinking, their own style, their own way they have succeeded. And then, you try to add something, it always takes time, it always takes the trust for them to believe. And for me, it is so important how much you want to add and when you want to add," Kotak told reporters
