India made a Kapil
of changes to the eleven that played their last One-day International – Ajay
Jadeja and Venkatesh Prasad made way for Manoj Prabhakar and Dev. Sri Lanka
made a couple of changes to the eleven that last played the Indians – Dulip Samaraweera
and Muttiah Muralitharan made way for Sanjeeva Ranatunga and Kumar Dharmasena.
Arjuna Ranatunga, Sri Lanka’s skipper (and Sanjeeva’s older brother), won the toss, inserting the Indians. Prabhakar, who faced eight balls, scored three. He was unbeaten, as was Tendulkar, who scored 11. His 16-ball (Sach)innings included a couple of boundaries. Sri Lanka conceded two extras. India had scored 16 without losing a wicket off four overs, when rain stopped play.
Pramodya Wickramasinghe and Chaminda Vaas bowled a couple of wicketless overs apiece. While the former conceded nine, the latter conceded half-a-dozen. Rain reduced the match to a 40-overs-a-side match, and interrupted play again. It ended without a result, and had to be restarted the next day.
