While India made
no changes to their playing eleven, Australia made a couple of changes to the (Reiff)eleven
that last played the Indians – Ricky Ponting and Paul made way for Mark Taylor
(who was leading the team) and Jason Gillespie. On winning the toss, Taylor
chose to bat.
Mark Waugh, who faced 13 balls, scored four. He was caught by Sachin Tendulkar, India’s skipper. Venkatesh Prasad broke the nine-run stand. Michael Slater, who faced 21 balls, scored just three. He was caught by Nayan Mongia. Prasad broke the 16-run stand.
Steve Waugh, whose 61-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 41. He was caught by Sourav Ganguly. Sunil Joshi broke the 92-run stand. Taylor, whose 144-ball innings included nine boundaries, scored 105. He was caught by Mohammad Azharuddin. Tendulkar broke the 82-run stand.
Michael Bevan, whose 49-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 36. He was caught by Anil Kumble. Needless to say, Prasad was in seventh heaven. Stuart Law, who faced eight balls, scored five. He was trapped leg before wicket by Kumble, who broke the eight-run stand.
Ian Healy, whose six-ball innings included a boundary, scored eight. He was caught by Tendulkar. Kumble broke the three-run stand. Brad Hogg, who faced a couple of balls, scored three. He was unbeaten.
