India A came up with a dominant show to secure a convincing seven-wicket win against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024. Chasing a target of 108, India A comfortably scored the winning runs with 55 balls to spare.
Apart from India A’s clinical performance, there was one particular moment that caught the eye – an acrobatic catch taken by Ayush Badoni.
UAE’s Muhammad Jawadullah played an aerial shot a shot towards the long-on region off the last delivery of the 15th over, bowled by Ramandeep Singh.
Badoni turned the flight mode on and dived towards his right to complete a sensational catch to end Jawadullah’s innings on 1.
