While India made
no changes to their playing eleven, Sri Lanka made three changes to theirs –
Dulip Samaraweera, Pramodya Wickramasinghe and Don Anurasiri made way for a
couple of One-day International debutants – Aruna Gunawardena and Ravindra
Pushpakumara – and Muttiah Muralitharan.
Mohammad Azharuddin, India’s skipper, inserted the visitors on winning the toss. Gunawardena – who never represented Sri Lanka again – faced 10 balls, scoring a couple. He was caught by Nayan Mongia. Manoj broke the three-run P(rabhak)artnership.

Aravinda de Silva, who faced a couple of balls, did not open his account. He was caught by Rajesh Chauhan. Prabhakar broke the third-wicket stand, which was worth half-a-dozen.
