While India made
no changes to their playing eleven, the West Indies made three changes to the
eleven that last played the Indians – Franklyn Rose, David Williams and
Courtney Walsh made way for Keith Arthurton, Ridley Jacobs and (Re)One-day
International debutant King.
On winning the toss, Mohammad Azharuddin, India’s skipper, chose to bat. Tendulkar, whose 14-ball (Sach)innings included a boundary, scored eight. Four overs into the match, he was caught by Carl Hooper. Mervyn Dillon, the player of the match, broke the 14-run stand.
Azharuddin, who faced four balls, scored a run. A couple of overs later, Dillon was in seventh heaven – he trapped him leg before wicket. Rahul Dravid, whose 54-ball innings included a boundary, scored 20. Twenty overs later, he was caught by Stuart Williams. Hooper broke the 70-run partnership.
The fourth-wicket pair put on 34. Ajay Jadeja, whose 18-ball innings included a boundary, scored 13. Thirty-one balls later, Brian Lara, the West Indies’ captain, ran him out. Sourav Ganguly, whose 116-ball innings included eight boundaries and a couple of sixes, scored 83. Forty-seven balls later, he was stumped by Jacobs. Rawl Lewis broke the 28-run stand.
Singh, whose 63-ball (Rob)innings included five boundaries and three sixes, scored 73. He was unbeaten. Nayan Mongia, whose 28-ball innings included a boundary, scored 25. Sixty-three balls later, Dillon broke the 83-run partnership. Javagal, whose (Srina)three-ball innings included a boundary, scored half-a-dozen. He was unbeaten.
The West Indies conceded 13 extras. India scored 242 for the loss of six wickets off 50 overs. Arthurton, who bowled three wicketless overs, conceded 26. Phil Simmons and King bowled 10 wicketless overs apiece. While the former conceded 47, the latter, whose spell included a couple of maidens, conceded 26.
Lewis, who bowled nine overs, conceded 58. He picked up a wicket, as did Hooper, who bowled 10 overs, conceding 42. Dillon bowled eight overs, including a maiden. He conceded 38, picking up three scalps.
Although his innings included a boundary, Stuart had no reason to be in seventh heaven – he scored just five. Thirteen balls into the chase, he was caught by Mongia. Srinath broke the 27-run stand.
Philo Wallace, whose 45-ball innings included five boundaries and a six, scored 39. Eighty-five balls later, he was caught by Tendulkar, who broke the 81-run partnership. Shivnarine Chanderpaul, whose run-a-ball innings included 10 boundaries and a six, scored 74. Forty-eight balls later, Tendulkar broke the 35-run stand.
Lara, whose 89-ball innings included five boundaries, scored 60. He was unbeaten. Hooper, who faced five balls, scored eight. His runs came by way of boundaries. Nine balls later, he was caught by Ajit Agarkar. Anil Kumble broke the 13-run stand. Arthurton, whose 67-ball innings included four boundaries, scored 40. He was unbeaten.
India conceded 19 extras. The West Indies, who scored 245 for the loss of four wickets off 47 overs, won by six wickets with three overs to spare. Agarkar, who bowled four wicketless overs, conceded 25. Dravid, who bowled half-a-dozen wicketless overs, conceded 36. Sunil Joshi, who bowled 10 wicketless overs, conceded 35.
Srinath, who bowled seven overs, conceded 56. He picked up a wicket, as did Kumble, who bowled 10 overs, conceding 52. Tendulkar bowled 10 overs, including a maiden. He conceded 29, picking up two scalps.
