BENSON AND HEDGES WORLD CUP FINALS:
-----------------------------------
INDIA vs PAKISTAN
I am sure this news will be most welcome for all netters following
the world cup in Australia.From the meager information i could
gather INDIA had beaten N.ZEALAND.I am not really sure of the
precise scores but i believe N.Zealand scored 206 in their quota
of 50 overs,India managed to reach that target only barely after
having scored only 100 in their first 35 overs.The indian hero
from what i have heard was Kapil Dev(60 odd runs).
To make India's task easier in the finals Pakistan was well on its
way to the biggest upset of the tournament.When i last heard the news,
W.INDIES all out 159, Pakistan 142 for 1 with plenty of overs to
spare so i assume it will be india vs pakistan once again.To refresh
memories india beat pakistan soundly in the preliminary rounds.
P.S... Polling in major metropolitan cities dropped to less than
30% in the recent assembly elections as people were glued
to their T.V(radios) as a result of india's scintillating
performance in the world cup.somanathan@elmer.DEC (Chandra) (01/12/86)
