India made one
change to the eleven that returned home triumphant from Sri Lanka – Venkatesh
Prasad made way for Javagal Srinath. The West Indies made four changes to the
eleven that last played the Indians – while Richie Richardson made way for
Courtney Walsh to lead the side, Roland Holder, Winston Benjamin and Curtly
Ambrose made for three One-day International debutants – Stuart Williams,
Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Cameron Cuffy.
On winning the toss, Walsh chose to bat. Williams, whose 83-ball innings included eight boundaries and a couple of sixes, scored 61. He was caught by Anil Kumble. Srinath broke the 132-run stand. Brian Lara, whose 16-ball innings included a boundary, scored 10. He was caught by Mohammad Azharuddin, India’s skipper. The (Kumb)leggie broke the 16-run stand.
Phil Simmons, the player of the match, scored 76. His 100-ball innings included three boundaries and four sixes. He was caught by Nayan Mongia. Rajesh Chauhan broke the 16-run stand. Carl Hooper, whose 50-ball innings included half-a-dozen boundaries and a six, scored 61. He was unbeaten.
Arthurton, whose 48-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored (Kei)thirty-nine. He was out hit wicket. Srinath broke the 90-run stand. The fifth-wicket pair failed to get off the mark. Anderson Cummins, who faced a ball, didn’t open his account. He was caught by Atul Bedade off the bowling of Srinath. Jimmy Adams, who faced four balls, scored a run. He was unbeaten.
India conceded 25 extras. The West Indies scored 273 for the loss of five wickets off 50 overs. Kapil Dev, the legendary all-rounder, was playing his last One-day International at his home ground. Unfortunately, the limited-overs international career of the man nicknamed the Haryana Hurricane didn’t end well – he bowled five wicketless overs, conceding 37.

Bedade, whose 55-ball innings included seven boundaries, scored 51. He was caught by Adams. Benjamin broke the sixth-wicket stand, which was worth a dozen.
