The Indians don’t WIn agA(zharudd)in

India made a couple of changes to their playing eleven – Ravi Shastri and Pravin Amre made way for Navjot Singh Sidhu and One-day International debutant Sourav Ganguly. The West Indies made just one change to the eleven that last played the Indians – Keith Arthurton made way for Carlisle Best.

On winning the toss, Mohammad Azharuddin, India’s skipper, chose to bat. Sidhu, who faced 19 balls, scored just a run. He was caught by Carl Hooper. Malcolm Marshall broke the 14-run stand. The second-wicket pair put on half-a-dozen. Sanjay Manjrekar, who faced four balls, scored just a run. He was run out.

Krishnamachari, who faced (Srikkan)thirty-three balls, scored four. He was caught by Marshall. Anderson Cummins, the player of the match, broke the one-run stand. Azharuddin, whose nine-ball innings included a boundary, scored eight. He was trapped leg before by Marshall, who broke the 14-run stand.

Ganguly, who faced 13 balls, scored three. He was trapped leg before wicket by Cummins, who broke the 27-run stand. He was dropped, and made a comeback to the Indian team four years later. Manoj, whose 21-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 14. He was caught by Patrick Patterson, who broke the 23-run P(rabhak)artnership.

Dev, whose 58-ball innings included a Kapil of boundaries, scored 28. He was caught by Marshall. Patterson broke the 76-run stand. Tendulkar, whose 127-ball (Sach)innings included five boundaries, scored 77. He was caught by the substitute. Cummins broke the 17-run stand.

The last-wicket pair didn’t open its account. Javagal Srinath, who faced a ball, didn’t get off the mark. He was caught by Williams off the bowling of Srinath. The West Indies conceded 36 extras. India were dismissed for 191 off 48.3 overs. Curtly Ambrose and Hooper bowled 10 wicketless overs apiece. While the former conceded 41, the latter conceded 24.
