Pitch: 81
Toss: West Indies A
West Indies A won the toss and elected to bowl in Humid conditions.
Fast medium bowler Henderson Bryan enjoyed the conditions to take 4 early wickets, leaving the home side struggling at 189/6, before allrounder Manoj Prabhakar and keeper C.S.Pandit came to the rescue with half centuries.
A century to Shivnarine Chanderpaul, his first in West Indies A colours, allowed the visitors to pass the follow on target, whereupon they immediately declared.
The 2nd innings of both teams was a largely pointless affair, as they played out time.
The match was predictably drawn, with Man of the Match being Shivnarine Chanderpaul for his match saving century.
