India-WI match ends (Azharudd)in tie

India made three changes to their playing eleven – Dilip Vengsarkar, Chandrakant Pandit and Venkatapathy Raju made way for Mohammad Azharuddin (who returned as skipper), Kiran More and One-day International debutant Subroto Banerjee.

The West Indies made six changes to the eleven that last played the Indians – Phil Simmons, Clayton Lambert, Gus Logie, Jeff Dujon, Ian Bishop and Winston Benjamin made way for Desmond Haynes, Philo Wallace, Brian Lara, Malcolm Marshall, David Williams and Anderson Cummins.

Richie Richardson, the West Indian skipper, won the toss, inserting India. Krishnamachari, who faced eight balls, scored (Srikkan)three. He was caught by Carl Hooper. Patrick Patterson broke the eight-run stand.

Sanjay Manjrekar, who faced 39 balls, scored 15. He was caught by Williams. Cummins broke the 27-run stand. Sachin Tendulkar, who faced nine balls, scored just a run. He was caught by Richardson. Cummins broke the third-wicket stand, which was worth half-a-dozen.

Azharuddin, who faced 24 balls, scored half-a-dozen. He was caught by Lara. Curtly Ambrose, the player of the match, broke the 17-run stand. Ravi, whose 110-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 33. He was caught by Lara. Marshall broke the S(hastr)ixteen-run stand.
