India A incur 10-run penalty for running on the pitch

On-field umpires Prageeth Rambukwella and Shantha Fonseka officially imposed the two five-run penalties midway through the 34th and 37th overs respectively. The second of those transgressions came when Nigam, who had guided a delivery towards short third, set off for a run before being sent back by non-striker Suryansh Shedge. In his attempt to regain his ground, Nigam ran through the middle of the pitch, over the protected area.
