42-over-a-side match. India made a couple of changes to their playing eleven –
Krishnamachari Srikkanth and Madan Lal made way for Dilip Vengsarkar and Raju
Kulkarni. Pakistan made just one – one Ahmed (Tauseef) replaced another
(Younis). On winning the toss, Kapil Dev, India’s skipper chose to bat.
