India made
just one change to their playing (No)eleven – David made way for Navjot Singh
Sidhu. Pakistan made three changes to the eleven that last played the Indians –
Ijaz Ahmed, Mohammad Hussain and Azhar Mahmood made way for Aamer Sohail and
the Khans – Arshad and Kabir.
On winning the toss, Tendulkar, India’s skipper, (Sach)inserted the Pakistanis. Saeed Anwar, who faced six balls, didn’t open his account. He was trapped leg before wicket by Venkatesh Prasad, who broke the three-run stand.
Sohail faced three balls, scoring a run. Prasad had a reason to be in seventh heaven – he trapped him leg before wicket. The third-wicket pair didn’t get off the mark. Inzamam-ul-Haq, who faced a couple of balls, D(rav)idn’t open his account. He was caught by Rahul off the bowling of Prasad.
Saleem Malik, whose 13-ball innings included a boundary, scored 10. He was caught by Mohammad Azharuddin. Prasad broke the 13-run stand. Rameez Raja, Pakistan’s skipper, scored five off 21 balls. He was caught by Azharuddin. Abey Kuruvilla broke the fifth-wicket stand, which was worth half-a-dozen.
Moin Khan, who faced eight balls, scored four. His runs came by way of a boundary. He was unbeaten, as was Shahid, who faced a couple of balls. He (Afri)didn't get off the mark. India conceded 10 extras. Pakistan scored 30 for the loss of five wickets off nine wickets. Kuruvilla, who bowled four overs, conceded 10. He picked up a wicket. Prasad bowled five overs, including a maiden. He conceded 17, picking up four wickets.
Five overs into the match, rain and bad light stopped play. Umpires B C Cooray and K T Francis reduced the match to a 33-overs-a-side contest. When the match resumed, it had to be called off again owing to bad light. A fresh 50-overs-a-side match was played the following day.
