India made just
one Cha(uha)nge to their playing eleven – Rajesh made way for Venkatapathy
Raju. New Zealand made a couple of changes to the team that last played the
Indians – Gavin Larsen and Danny Morrison made way for Blair Hartland and
Richard de Groen.
Ken Rutherford, New Zealand’s skipper, chose to bat on winning the toss. Bryan Young, whose 11-ball innings included a boundary, scored five. He was caught by Nayan Mongia. Needless to say, Javagal Srinath was in seventh heaven.

Adam Parore, who faced 138 balls, scored 96. He was caught by Kumble. Prabhakar broke the 61-run stand. Stephen Fleming, whose 25-ball innings included a boundary and the only six of the innings, scored 33. He was unbeaten, as was Shane Thomson, who didn’t face a ball.
