Although Ahmedabad
had already hosted a One-day International, this was the first limited-overs
international that took place in Motera. It was a 46-overs-a-side match.
India made a couple of changes to their playing eleven (Surinder Khanna and Ghulam Parkar made way for Sandeep Patil and Syed Kirmani), while Australia made one (Tom Hogan replaced Rodney Hogg).
Kim Hughes, the Aussie skipper, inserted the hosts on winning the toss. Roger Binny scored 57. His 88-ball innings included eight boundaries. He was stumped by Wayne Phillips. Hogan broke the 104-run stand.
Ravi Shastri, who faced 82 balls, scored 48. His innings included four boundaries. He was stumped by Phillips. Needless to say, Hogan was in seventh heaven.
Sandeep Patil, who faced eight balls, scored three. He was caught by Hughes. Kepler Wessels broke the 11-run partnership.
Dilip Vengsarkar, who faced 23 balls, scored 14. Geoff Lawson broke the 11-run stand. He also broke the 12-run stand, dismissing Sunil Gavaskar, India’s captain, who faced 10 balls, scoring just four. Dev, who faced 31 balls, scoring 28. His innings included a Kapil of boundaries and a six. Lawson broke the 16-run stand.
Kirti Azad scored 39. His 30-ball innings included a couple of boundaries and four sixes. He was unbeaten, as was Madan Lal, who scored six off eight balls. The Aussies conceded 10 extras. India scored 206 for the loss of six wickets off 46 overs.
John Maguire and Carl Rackemann bowled eight wicketless overs apiece, conceding 56 and 50, respectively. Wessels bowled 10 overs, conceding 29. He picked up a wicket.
Hogan and Lawson bowled 10 overs, including a couple of maidens, each. While the former conceded 40 and picked up a couple of wickets, the latter was adjudged the player of the match, because he conceded 25, picking up three scalps.
The Aussie openers put on 67. Graeme Wood, who faced 42 balls, scored 32. His innings included four boundaries. He was run out. Wessels scored 42. His 56-ball innings included half-a-dozen boundaries. He was caught by Kirmani. Ashok Patel broke the 22-run stand.
Allan Border scored 62. His 90-ball innings included five boundaries. He was unbeaten. Hughes scored 29. His 46-ball innings included a boundary. Dev trapped him leg before wicket, breaking the 73-run stand. Graham Yallop scored 30. His 32-ball innings included three boundaries. He was unbeaten.
India conceded 13 extras. Australia scored 210 for the loss of three wickets off 43.5 overs, winning by seven wickets with 13 balls to spare.
Binny bowled two overs, conceding 21. He was wicketless, as was Chetan Sharma, whose seven overs included a maiden. He conceded 21. Lal bowled 7.5 overs, conceding 35. He was wicketless, as was Azad, whose nine overs yielded 51.
