Indian Board President's XI v West Indies A - 50 over List A match 1991/2 - Match Report

Indian Board President's XI v West Indies A - 50 over List A match 1991/2 - Lucknow

Pitch: 2 - Good batting wicket

Weather: 2 - Hot and sunny

Toss: West Indies A

West Indies A won the toss, and struggled early, losing 3 wickets despite good batting conditions.
At this point Arthurton 40 joined captain Holder 88 in a partnership that slowly turned the innings around.
With Floyd Reifer hitting out for an unbeaten 36* off 23 balls at the end, the visitors would have been happy with their recovery after at one stage looking like dawdling to about 160.
Allrounder R.R.Singh was the best of the bowlers, claiming 1-11 in his first 7 overs, a hold from which the West Indies A batsmen never really broke free.
Rathour gave the home side an excellent start with a breezy 73, and with all the other batsmen in form the chase was a breeze.
Ganguly and R.R.Singh finished things off in an aggressive partnership, against an attack which lacked penetration apart from the pace of Gray.
R.R.Singh was named Man of the Match for his allround performance.

Indian Board President's XI won by 6 wickets

Man of the Match: R.R.Singh
