Australia made
four changes to the team that last played the Indians – Dean Jones, Allan
Border, Greg Dyer and Craig McDermott made way for Mike Veletta, Simon
O’Donnell, Drik Wellham and Tim Zoehrer. India made just one – Raman Lamba made
way for Sunil Gavaskar. On winning the toss, Kapil Dev, the latter’s skipper,
inserted the former.

Steve Waugh faced 43 balls, scoring 20. He was caught by Sharma. Maninder Singh broke the third-wicket stand, which was worth 47. O’Donnell faced 11 balls, scoring five. He was caught by Sadanand Viswanath. Singh had a reason to be in seventh heaven.
David Boon scored 62. His 113-ball innings included three boundaries. He was caught by Vengsarkar. Dev broke the five-run stand. Greg Ritchie, who faced five balls, scored three. He was trapped leg before wicket by Dev, who broke the one-run stand.

Australia scored 176 for the loss of six wickets off 50 overs. Bharat Arun, who bowled three overs, conceded 17. He was wicketless, as was Ravi Shastri, who bowled 10 overs, conceding 28.
