It was a
44-overs-a-side match. India made four changes to their playing eleven –
Lalchand Rajput, Dilip Vengsarkar, Chandrakant Pandit and Roger Binny made way
for Sunil Gavaskar, Sadanand Viswanath, Manoj Prabhakar and Gopal Sharma.
Pakistan made just one – Mudassar Nazar was replaced by Ijaz Faqih.
Imran Khan, the Pakistani skipper, inserted the hosts on winning the toss. Gavaskar, who faced 10 balls, scored just a run. He was caught by Manzoor Elahi. Wasim Akram broke the six-run stand. The second-wicket pair had put on just a run when Krishnamachari, who faced (Srikkan)thirteen balls, scoring just a couple, retired hurt.
Mohammad Azharuddin scored 18. His 33-ball innings included a boundary. He was caught by Elahi. Saleem Jaffar broke the 46-run stand. Viswanath, who faced 11 balls, scored just a run. He was caught by Akram. Abdul Qadir broke the third-wicket partnership, which was worth half-a-dozen.

He was trapped leg before wicket by Khan, who broke the fifth-wicket partnership, which was worth 112. The sixth-wicket pair put on just five. Madan Lal, who turned 36, didn’t have a reason to celebrate – he faced five balls, scored just a run and was run out.

The sixth-wicket stand was worth a doze. Akram, whose four-ball innings included a six, scored eight. He was run out. The seventh-wicket stand was worth three. Qadir, who faced a ball, scored just a run. He was run out.
India conceded 11 extras. Pakistan scored 212 for the loss of seven wickets off 44 overs. The hosts won on account of losing fewer wickets. Lal bowled four wicketless overs, conceding 22.
