Opting to bat first, India did not get off to the greatest ofstarts, losingSunil Gavaskar early. K Srikkanth and Yashpal Sharma steadied the ship for a while before the former was dismissed for 38.None of the Indian batsmen got going after that as the West Indian pacerstook wickets at regular intervals to peg India back.

India eventually were all outfor183 and were staring at a certain defeat when Vivian Richards was at the crease. However, an excellent catch fromKapil Devended Richardss stay in the middle. India began to strike regularly,and,when last man Michael Holding was trapped in frontby Mohinder Amarnath, the result that looked highly unlikely at the half-way mark was dished out.
