  "account": "New Zealand A defeated India A by 204 runs in the first unofficial Test at Lincoln. The match started with New Zealand A winning the toss and opting to field. India A managed to take early wickets, dismissing KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal for 8 and 17 respectively. The Indian batting lineup then struggled, losing Devdutt Padikkal for 32 and Sai Sudharsan for 13. Despite these early wickets, India A managed to form a partnership of 96 runs between Devdutt Padikkal and B Sai Sudharsan over 188 balls, which steadied the innings. However, they were eventually all out for 98 runs, leaving New Zealand A with a 204-run lead.",
