Chennai: The two-day practice match between Australia and Board President\u2019s XI ended in a draw at the Guru Nanak College ground here on Wednesday.

Ambayati Rayudu, who had scored century against Mumbai in Irani Trophy, however looked in superb touch and tried to hold the innings together. He crafted his innings well and stayed on the crease for good two and a half hours. He made sure that his team gets close to the visitors\u2019 total before getting out for 87, including nine fours and four sixes.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Pravez Rassol, who managed to bag seven wickets on Tuesday, looked promising with the bat as he scored 36 runs, which included four boundaries and two sixes. He was the second highest run scorer for his team.<\/p>\n
