[1] It marked the culmination of the first Austral-Asia Cup and was won by Pakistan who defeated India by one wicket to lift their first ODI trophy.

[5][6] Chasing the target of 246 to win, Pakistan lost in-form batsman Mudassar Nazar leg before wicket to Chetan Sharma with the total at nine.

Miandad built good partnerships with Saleem Malik and later Abdul Qadir, who made a quick 34, before being caught by substitute fielder Raman Lamba.

Imran Khan and Manzoor Elahi perished while going for big hits, but Miandad was moving the score at one end, trying to maintain the asking rate with occasional boundaries and sixes.

Wicket-keeper batsman Zuldarnain was clean bowled by Sharma for a duck which left Pakistan needing five runs from two deliveries.

[9][10][11] Fall of wickets: 1–117 (Srikkanth), 2–216 (Vengsarkar), 3–216 (Kirti Azad), 4–229 (Kapil Dev), 5–242 (Sunil Gavaskar), 6–245 (Ravi Shastri), 7–245 (Chetan Sharma)
