In reply, India A succumbed to the ever increasing required run rate and folded up for 215 in 42.3 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Khawaja could not have asked for a better start for his side as he with Burns struck the monumental partnership which gave the Australians a brilliant platform to put on a big score on the board, which they eventually did.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the left-handed Khawaja hammered three sixes and 10 boundaries, Burns smashed an incredible 14 sixes and five boundaries in his 131-ball innings. Both batsmen had scored half-centuries in their previous match on Wednesday against South Africa A.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Towards the end of the innings, wicketkeeper-batsman Matthew Wade also chipped in with an unbeaten 21-ball 34 which included three fours and a six.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">India A did not start their chase well, losing four top order batsmen even before reaching the 100-run mark. Though the hosts maintained a run rate of five runs or more, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals which led to their downfall.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Captain and opener Unmukt Chand scored 52 before being bowled while Kedar Jadhav (50) scored a half-century.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Indian-origin Australia A pacer Gurinder Sandhu (4\/28) and leg break bowler Adam Zampa (4\/49) both picked up four scalps each to knock out the Indians.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next, India A will take on South Africa A here on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brief scores: Australia A 334\/4 in 50 overs (Joe Burns 154, Usman Khawaja 100) beat India A 215 all out (Unmukt Chand 52, Kedar Jadhav; Gurinder Sandhu 4\/28, Adam Zampa 4\/49).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(IANS)<\/p>\r\n",
