The ill fated South Zone under-22 game between Kerala and Andhra, badly affected by rain, ended in a tame draw at Kakinada on Saturday. The first two days were totally washed out because of inclement weather. On the final day play started only at 12.30 pm and in the 60 overs possible, Kerala put in to bat, struggled to make 102 for five wickets off 60 overs.

KS Shahabuddin and Md Faiq each bagged two wickets as Kerala lost wickets at regular intervals. Symbolising Kerala's struggle for runs was Vipin Lal. Coming in at No 3 after the first wicket had fallen at 16, Vipin Lal remained unbeaten with 30 at the end for which he batted 194 minutes and faced 150 balls without hitting a boundary. The teams shared three points each.
