It was a
48-overs-a-side match. Australia made just one change to their playing eleven –
Dave Gilbert made way for Bruce Reid. India made three – Sunil Gavaskar, Roger
Binny and Gopal Sharma were replaced by Dilip Vengsarkar, Rajinder Singh Ghai
and Rudra Pratap Singh.

Vengsarkar scored 25. His 29-ball innings included a boundary. He was caught by Geoff Marsh. Steve Waugh broke the fourth-wicket stand, which was worth just a couple. The fifth-wicket pair put on 19. Ravi Shastri, who faced a couple of balls, scored as many. He was run out.
