India made a
couple of changes to their playing eleven – Sanjay Manjrekar and Aashish Kapoor
made way for Vinod Kambli and Utpal Chatterjee. New Zealand made four changes
to the eleven that last played the Indians – Ken Rutherford, Adam Parore,
Justin Vaughan and Murphy Su’a made way for Nathan Astle, One-day International
debutant Roger Twose, Lee Germon (who wasn’t just leading the side, but keeping
wickets too) and Dion Nash.
The visitors won the toss, inserting the hosts. Tendulkar, whose 20-ball (Sach)innings included five boundaries, scored 30. He was caught by Mark Greatbatch. Danny Morrison broke the 45-run stand. Navjot Singh Sidhu, who faced 22 balls, scored a dozen. He was caught by Nash. Gavin Larsen broke the 49-run stand.
Mohammad Azharuddin, India’s skipper, scored 32. His 45-ball innings included three boundaries. Chris Cairns broke the 65-run stand. Manoj, whose 118-ball innings included half-a-dozen boundaries, scored 83. He was caught by Astle. Larsen broke the 18-run P(rabhak)artnership. Ajay Jadeja, who faced a couple of balls, failed to get off the mark. He was caught by Shane Thomson, who broke the one-run stand.
Kambli, who faced 28 balls, scored 15. Nash broke the 16-run stand. Anil Kumble, who faced half-a-dozen balls, scored four. Nash broke the 10-run stand. Nayan Mongia, whose 29-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 26. Morrison broke the 18-run stand. Javagal Srinath, whose run-a-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 17. He was unbeaten.
The ninth-wicket pair put on a dozen. Utpal Chatterjee, who never represented India again, faced five balls, scoring three. Nash ran him out. Venkatesh Prasad, who faced three balls, scored just a run. Cairns broke the two-run stand.
New Zealand conceded 13 extras. India were dismissed for 236 off 49.1 overs. Astle bowled three wicketless overs, conceding 17. Thomson bowled eight overs, including a maiden. He conceded 17, picking up a wicket.
Morrison bowled nine overs, conceding 49. He picked up a couple of wickets. Cairns bowled 9.1 overs, including a maiden. He conceded 33, picking up a couple of wickets. Nash and Larsen bowled 10 overs each, picking up a couple of scalps apiece. While the former conceded 56, the latter conceded 40.
Astle, whose eight-ball innings included a boundary, wasn’t in seventh heaven, because he was trapped leg before wicket by Prabhakar, who broke the 18-run stand. Greatbatch, whose 44-ball innings included four boundaries, scored 31. Prasad broke the 48-run stand.
Martin Crowe, the player of the match, scored 107. His 129-ball innings included nine boundaries and a couple of sixes. He was unbeaten, as was Stephen Fleming, who scored 78. His 100-ball innings included half-a-dozen boundaries.
India conceded 14 extras. New Zealand scored 237 for the loss of two wickets off 46.5 overs, winning by eight wickets with 19 balls to spare. Tendulkar bowled three wicketless overs, conceding 18. The Karnataka pacer bowled eight wicketless overs, including a maiden. He conceded (Srina)thirty.
Chatterjee bowled 8.5 wicketless overs, conceding 54. Kumble bowled 10 wicketless overs, conceding 40. Prabhakar bowled seven overs, conceding 36. He picked up a scalp, as did Prasad, who bowled 10 overs. He conceded 50.
