PAKISTAN v WEST INDIES Wisden CricInfo staff - January 1, 1993
Toss: West Indies. The West Indians returned to form, overhauling Pakistan's 220 without losing a wicket. Their only disappointment was that�Lara, who had responded to the opener's job with his highest score in limited-overs internationals, missed the chance of a hundred when Wasim Akram's yorker struck his right foot. He had struck 11 fours and faced 101 balls, whereas Haynes contributed a more stately 93 from 144 and offered three chances. The winning runs, however, were provided by Aqib Javed, whose two bouncers were called as no-balls. Pakistan were without their captain, Imran Khan, who was injured. His deputy, Javed Miandad, pleased the crowd with a lively 57 from 61 balls, and shared an unbroken stand of 123 with�Ramiz Raja. They took 81 from their last ten overs, Ramiz finally cutting loose, but�Pakistan paid for their slow scoring earlier. In keeping with the tournament's unexpected fashion, Richardson bowled his off-spinners, Hooper and Harper, in tandem for 13 overs, enabling�West Indies to complete their 50 overs half an hour ahead of schedule.
Man of the Match:�B. C. Lara. Attendance: 14,162. © Wisden CricInfo Ltd |
