Sydney, Dec 13 (UNI) The three-day pink-ball tour game between Australia A and India ended in a draw on the third and final day, here at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday.

India, who had secured a lead of 86 runs in the first innings, declared their second innings at overnight score of 386/4, setting the home side a stiff 473-run target.

In reply, Australia A finished on 307 for 4 in 75 overs when the two captains shook hands and decided to bring an early end to the 3-day match.

India had bundled out Australia A for 108 after being dismissed for 194 on the opening day at the SCG.

Starting the day, Mohammad Shami set the ball rolling for India as he dismissed Marcus Harris (5) in the fifth over.

Four overs later, Shami picked his fifth wicket of the match as he trapped Joe Burns (1) before the wickets. Mohammed Siraj struck in the 12th over to dismiss Nic Maddinson (14) as Australia A lost their

was caught for 58 at mid-on off Hanuma Vihari’s bowling.
