Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in focus at India A vs Sri Lanka A Tri-series final
India A and Sri Lanka A will clash in the Tri-Nation A series final on Sunday at Dambulla, completing a series that will be remembered as much for off-field flashpoints as for the cricket, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's altercation with Vishen Halambage the defining moment.
The incident in Match 4 saw Sooryavanshi and Halambage involved in a heated physical exchange after the match ended in a tie, with footage spreading rapidly across social media. Sri Lanka Cricket subsequently imposed sanctions on players involved, adding a sharper edge to what was already a fiercely competitive series.
India A's journey to the final was turbulent. Tilak Varma's side won their opener against Sri Lanka A but lost to Afghanistan A via DLS and surrendered the Super Over in Match 4. Their 101-run win over Afghanistan A on June 17 ultimately sealed their place.
Sri Lanka A has been the more consistent side throughout the league stage. Sahan Arachchige's team topped the standings and arrived as favorites on home soil, where they have demonstrated the batting depth and bowling versatility needed to back their status.
