Australia A outplayed India A by 3 wickets to book their final berth. After restricting India A to 258 for nine, the Usman Khawaja-led side achieved their target with nine balls to spare. Man of the Match Agar (5-39) was happy that the bowlers executed their plans well.
"May be our plans are little bit more simple. Maybe the nets helped us. I think we adapted well to the pace of the wicket and put the ball on the spot where it was most likely to get a positive outcome. I think that really helped us in saying that our spinners bowled well," Agar told reporters after the game.
India A spinner's, led by leg-spinner Karn Sharma (3-45) tried hard to stop visiting charge but failed to stop the visitors from running away with the target. The 21-year-old youngster did not forget to praise the opposition spinners.
"Their spinners bowled very well. Earlier on they bowled quite nicely. I think they have got enough," the youngster opined.
"Little bit nervous but we have got great depth in our squad. We bat all the way down and Zampa had done that before for his state. We have good confidence in him. He would not even know that he was there and he had done a great job through the middle overs and finish it off at the end. So that is extremely a good job," he said.
