Australia A beat India A by 25 runs at the TUKS Oval in Pretoria on Sunday to book a place in the final of the Cricket South Africa triangular series, getting their third win in four outings.

According to Sport24, nineties from Shaun Marsh and Glenn Maxwell made certain that their side posted a competitive score of 310/7 at the end of their innings, which their bowlers were able to defend.

With a good score to defend, Australia's bowlers could not underestimate the powerful Indian batting line-up and Henriques and Joshua Hazlewood took three wickets each to slow the run rate despite half-centuries from Rohit Sharma (61), Murali Vijay (60) and Cheteshwar Pujara (51), the report said.

Australia won the toss and chose to bat first on another gloomy and windy day in the Administrative Capital, the report added.

India will play South Africa A on Monday for a place in the final which takes place on Wednesday, the report further said.
