India 'A' won the series against South Africa 'A' 1-0 after the second four-day match ended in a draw following abandonment of final day's play due to heavy rains in Dharamsala on Saturday.

No play was possible in the last three days due to heavy rains. Umpires S K Tarapore and G A Pratap Kumar after inspecting the ground today called off the match at 10 a.m. as morning showers had left the outfield waterlogged.

South Africa, hoping to level the series, were 264 for 4 in 70 overs on the opening day after captain Boeta Dippenaar elected to bat but rain played spoilsport.

India's coach Paras Mhambrey was satisfied with the result and said the Mohammad Kaif-led team had won the first match in Delhi with an allround performance.

"We were looking forward to win the game and get the series 2-nil, but can't help the elements. I am happy with the first match in which we clinched the victory in three days. Our spinners troubled their batsmen and our batsmen scored doubles centuries. So it was a satisfying series for us," Mhambrey told reporters.

The coach agreed that the visitors were on their way to make a comeback into the series and it would have been a close match had it gone its full length.

"It would have been an interesting game and keenly contested. They have a number of Test players in their team and we were not taking them lightly. The match could have gone either way," he said.
