India’s first
limited-overs assignment after the World Cup, held in Australia and New Zealand
in February and March 1992, was a one-off match against Zimbabwe (one of the
two teams the Indians beat at the premier One-day tournament, the other being
the eventual winners, Pakistan).
India made (Srikkan)three changes to the eleven that played South Africa, their last opponents at the World Cup – Krishnamachari, Vinod Kambli and Venkatapathy Raju made way for Ravi Shastri, Ajay Jadeja and Anil Kumble.
Zimbabwe made four changes to the eleven that played the Indians at the World Cup – Andy Pycroft, Iain Butchart, Eddo Brandes and Kevin Duers made way for One-day International debutants Grant Flower (Andy Flower’s younger brother), Craig Evans, Gary Crocker and David Brain. David Houghton, their skipper, won the toss, inserting the visitors.
Jadeja, who faced a ball, failed to get off the mark. Brain broke the one-run stand. The second-wicket pair didn’t open its account. Shastri, who faced four balls, scored just a run. He was caught by Grant off the bowling of Mark Burmester.
