The visitors finished their second innings at 282/2 on Day 4, building a lead of 204 runs before both teams decided to shake hands. Jaiswal remained unbeaten on 155 off 162 balls, while Rathod scored an unbeaten 100 off 122 deliveries. The two left-handers shared an unbeaten 247-run partnership for the third wicket to put India A in a strong position.
The match also saw more than 90 minutes of play lost due to rain on the final day. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Yash Rathod scored centuries as India A played out a draw against New Zealand A in the second unofficial Test at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. He reached the landmark with a couple off Rhys Mariu, prompting celebrations before players from both teams shook hands.
India A were waiting for Rathod to complete his century before the match was called off.
He had also scored 44 not out and 66 in the previous match. Rathod’s century was particularly satisfying after he failed to make a big contribution in the first innings.
