While India made
no changes to their playing eleven, Pakistan made a couple of changes to the
eleven that was knocked out of the World Cup by the Indians at the
quarter-final stage – Javed Miandad and Ata-ur-Rehman made way for Rameez Raja
and Saqlain Mushtaq.
Aamer Sohail, Pakistan’s skipper, won the toss, inserting the Indians. Navjot Singh Sidhu, whose 35-ball innings included a boundary, scored 35. He was caught by Rashid Latif. Aaqib Javed broke the 44-run stand. Mohammad Azharuddin, India’s skipper, faced 51 balls, scoring 29. He was caught by Latif. His opposite number broke the 66-run stand.
The third-wicket pair put on 17. Rahul Dravid wasn’t in seventh heaven, because he scored just four. Mushtaq Ahmed ran him out. Tendulkar, whose 111-ball (Sach)innings included nine boundaries and a six, scored 100 (which was his second ODI ton outside the subcontinent). He was stumped by Latif. Saqlain broke the 59-run stand.
The fifth-wicket pair put on nine. Ajay Jadeja faced five balls, scoring as many. Latif ran him out. The sixth-wicket pair put on 10. Nayan Mongia, who faced nine balls, scored three. Latif ran him out. Sanjay Manjrekar, whose 56-ball (Saqla)innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 41. He was caught by Aaqib. The off-spinner broke the 18-run stand.
Anil Kumble, whose 10-ball innings included a boundary and a six, scored 14. He was unbeaten. Javagal Srinath, who faced a ball, didn’t open his account. He was stumped by Latif. Saqlain broke the one-run stand. Venkatesh Prasad, who faced four balls, scored just a run. He was unbeaten.
Pakistan conceded 15 extras. India scored 226 for the loss of eight wickets off 47.1 overs, before rain stopped play. Inzamam-ul-Haq, who bowled a wicketless over, conceded 10. Saleem Malik, who bowled three wicketless overs, conceded 17. Waqar Younis bowled eight wicketless overs, including a maiden. He conceded 42.
Mushtaq, who bowled nine wicketless overs, conceded 58. Sohail, who bowled nine overs, conceded 46. He picked up a wicket, as did Aaqib, who bowled 7.1 overs, conceding a dozen. Saqlain, who bowled 10 overs, conceded 38. He picked up three scalps.
The interruption resulted in a revision in Pakistan’s target – they had to chase 187 off 33 overs. Sohail, the player of the match, scored 76. His 89-ball innings included seven boundaries. He was unbeaten.
Saeed Anwar, whose 49-ball innings included eight boundaries and three sixes, scored 74. He was caught by Dravid. Raju broke the 144-run stand. Raja, who faced 10 balls, scored five. He was trapped (Kumb)leg before wicket by the leggie, who broke the 18-run stand. Malik, whose 24-ball innings included five boundaries, scored 25. He was unbeaten.
India conceded 10 extras. Pakistan, who scored 190 for the loss of a couple of wickets off 28 overs, won by eight wickets with five overs to spare. Tendulkar, who bowled two wicketless overs, conceded 18.
Prasad and Srinath bowled seven wicketless overs apiece. While the former conceded 45, the latter conceded 34. Raju, who bowled five overs, conceded 51. He picked up a wicket, as did Kumble, who bowled seven overs, including a maiden. He conceded 39.
This was, incidentally, the second instance of a century by Tendulkar going in vain. The Indians were knocked out of the Singer Cup.
