KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal failed to score significant runs, contributing to the early collapse after New Zealand A exploited the grassy pitch conditions. The match, which began on Saturday, serves as preparation for India's upcoming World Test Championship series starting November 19 in Wellington. New Zealand A's fast bowlers, including Zak Gibson and Simon Keene, took key wickets to restrict India A's total to less than two sessions.
