India made a
change to their playing eleven – Mohinder Amarnath was replaced by Dilip
Vengsarkar. The West Indies made a couple of changes to the eleven that lost
the World Cup final to the Indians – Faoud Bacchus and Joel Garner were
replaced by a couple of One-day International debutants (Eldine Baptiste and
Roger Harper).
Clive Lloyd, the West Indies’ skipper, inserted the hosts on winning the toss. Sunil Gavaskar, who faced 16 balls, scored 11. He was caught by Vivian Richards. Malcolm Marshall broke the 19-run stand.
Vengsarkar scored 28. His 39-ball innings included three boundaries. He was caught by Marshall. Baptiste broke the 46-run stand.
Yashpal Sharma, who faced 13 balls, wasn’t in seventh heaven, because he was caught by Desmond Haynes. Harper broke the 15-run stand. Sandeep Patil, who faced eight balls, did not open his account. Baptiste broke the 10-run stand.
Krishnamachari Srikkanth, who faced 91 balls, scored 40. He was caught by Gordon Greenidge. Harper broke the 24-run stand. Dev, India’s Kap(il)tain, faced 32 balls, scoring 17. He was caught by Jeff Dujon. Michael Holding broke the 29-run stand.
Kirti Azad scored 21. His 23-ball innings included a boundary and a couple of sixes. He was caught by Harper, who broke the eight-run partnership. Roger Binny, who faced eight balls, scored 10. He was caught by Dujon. Andy Roberts broke the four-run stand.
The ninth-wicket pair put on 21. Madan Lal, who faced 15 balls, scored 13. He was run out. Syed Kirmani, who faced eight balls, scored 13. He was unbeaten.
Balvinder Singh Sandhu, who faced a couple of balls, didn’t open his account. He was caught by Richards. Marshall broke the tenth-wicket stand, which was worth a blob.
The West Indies conceded 21 extras. India were dismissed for 176 off 41.2 overs. Holding, who bowled seven overs, conceded 32. He picked up a wicket, as did Roberts, who bowled nine overs, conceded 26.
Marshall bowled 7.2 overs, including a couple of maidens. He conceded 13. He picked up a couple of wickets, as did Baptiste, who bowled nine overs, including a maiden. He conceded 50. Harper bowled nine overs, including a maiden. He conceded 34 and picked up three scalps.
A dust storm and bad light curtailed the West Indies’ innings. The scores were compared at the end of 22 overs, at which point India had scored 80. Hence, the West Indies’ revised target was 81 off 22 overs.
Greenidge scored 44 off 58 balls, and Haynes, the player of the match, scored 55 off 88. They were unbeaten. India conceded nine extras. The West Indians scored 108 for no loss off 22.4 overs, winning by 28 runs.
