On the occasion of
Gandhi Jayanti, India played their 50th One-day International. While
they fielded an unchanged eleven, the Pakistanis made one change to theirs –
Qasim Umar was replaced by Saleem Malik. Speaking of fielded, that’s what the
hosts did when Dev, their Kap(il)tain, won the toss. It was a 46-overs-a-side match.
Mohsin Khan, who faced 55 balls, scored 22. His innings included two boundaries. He was caught by Sandeep Patil. Madan Lal broke the 55-run stand. Mudassar Nazar, who faced 66 balls, scored 27. Roger Binny broke the two-run stand.
Javed Miandad, who faced three balls, scored just one. Lal trapped him leg before wicket, breaking the three-run stand. The fourth-wicket pair put on 40. Wasim Raja, who faced 27 balls, scored 17. He was run out.
Zaheer Abbas, Pakistan's captain, scored 48. His 59-ball innings included a boundary. Dev trapped him leg before wicket, breaking the 53-run stand. Malik scored 27. His 37-ball innings included a couple of boundaries. He was caught by Kirti Azad. Dev broke the sixth-wicket stand, which was worth just a couple.
Wasim Bari, who faced 18 balls, scored five. He was unbeaten. The seventh-wicket pair failed to open its account. Tahir Naqqash, who faced six balls, was run out for a duck. Jalal-ud-Din, who faced a ball, failed to get off the mark. He was caught by Lal, who broke the eighth-wicket stand, which was worth a blob.
The ninth-wicket partnership was worth 10. Although his run-a-ball innings included a boundary, Azeem Hafeez wasn’t in seventh heaven, because he was run out. Mohammad Nazir, who didn’t face a ball, was unbeaten.
