In the Duleep Trophy match on September 15, India A claimed a decisive 186-run victory over India D, chasing down a target of 488. Ricky Bhui was the standout performer for India D, scoring a determined 113 runs, but received little support from his teammates as they were bowled out for 301. India A’s spinners, Shams Mulani and Tanush Kotian, were instrumental in dismantling the batting lineup, with Mulani taking four wickets and Kotian also claiming four. Despite Bhui's gritty century, India D's lack of substantial partnerships resulted in their defeat, marking their second consecutive loss in the tournament. This win keeps India A in contention for the title, while India D is now out of the race. The match highlighted the contrasting performances of both teams, with India A bouncing back strongly after a previous defeat.
