On the second day of their four-day match against South Africa A, India A faced a disappointing collapse, all out for 234. Rishabh Pant's brief innings was marked by moments of promise but ultimately fell short, contributing to India's innings deficit.

South Africa A's off-spinner Prenelan Subrayen was the star with a five-wicket haul, exploiting Indian batters' weakness to help his team secure a 75-run lead. Teenager Ayush Mhatre stood out with a confident 65, showcasing skill and resilience in an otherwise struggling lineup.

Despite a stable start in their second innings, with the openers reaching 30 without loss, India A's earlier mistakes left them vulnerable as they aimed to recover from the challenging position set by the hosts.
