†INDIA v SRI LANKA 1987-88

At Sharjah, March 25. India won by 18 runs. Toss: Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka bowled and fielded magnificently to restrict India to 219 on a good batting pitch. But nerves and inexperience told against them in the end. With victory seemingly in their grasp, they lost eight wickets for 50 runs - three of them to run-outs. Shastri, in his 99th one-day international, took his 100th wicket when More stumped Madugalle.

Man of the Match: P. A. De Silva.
