India made a
couple of changes to their playing eleven – Sanjay Manjrekar and Sachin
Tendulkar made way for V B Chandrasekhar and One-day International debutant
Gursharan Singh. Australia made just one change to the eleven that last played
the Indians – Dean Jones made way for Merv Hughes.
Mohammad Azharuddin, India’s skipper, chose to bat on winning the toss. Manoj, whose 13-ball innings included a boundary, wasn’t in seventh heaven, because he was caught by Mark Taylor. Hughes broke the 12-run P(rabhak)artnership. The second-wicket pair put on 80. Manjrekar, whose 70-ball innings included a boundary, scored 33. He was run out.
Woorkeri Raman, whose 86-ball I(a)nnings included seven boundaries and a six, scored 58. He was caught by Healy. Peter Taylor broke the 16-run stand. Chandrasekhar, who never represented India again*, faced 10 balls, scoring three. He was caught by Allan Border, Australia’s captain.

The eighth-wicket pair put on half-a-dozen. Kiran More, who faced a couple of balls, scored a run. He was run out. Atul, whose four-ball innings included a boundary, scored eight. He Was(sa)n’t dismissed.
Australia conceded five extras. India scored 211 for the loss of eight wickets off 50 overs. Terry Alderman, who bowled seven overs, conceded 13. He was wicketless, as was Campbell, who bowled eight overs, conceding 25.

David Boon, whose run-a-ball innings included four boundaries, scored 24. He was unbeaten, as was Border, whose six-ball innings included a six. He scored nine, and was unbeaten.
