India started well after electing to bat, with Sachin Tendulkar dominating early on a lively pitch. He struck 9 fours in a fluent 44 off a run-a-ball 44, giving India a strong platform. However, once he was dismissed, rain interruptions disrupted momentum and India’s innings never recovered, as wickets fell and scoring slowed under stop-start conditions. The weather played a major role throughout the match, with multiple interruptions reducing overs and increasing difficulty for India while ultimately easing the chase for the West Indies. In reply, Shivnarine Chanderpaul anchored the innings with a classy unbeaten 83 off 87 balls, striking 12 boundaries and ensuring there were no complications in the revised chase. His composed batting made the target look well within reach despite earlier rain delays. 🏏 Match Highlights: Sachin Tendulkar aggressive 44 (9 fours) Multiple rain interruptions affect India’s innings India fail to build after strong start Revised target 146 off 33 overs Shivnarine Chanderpaul unbeaten 83* West Indies cruise to 8-wicket win 📍 Result: West Indies won by 8 wickets (revised target 146 in 33 overs) 🏟️ Port of Spain 📅 April 26, 1997 #WestIndiesVsIndia #ShivnarineChanderpaul #SachinTendulkar #CricketHighlights #ODI #WestIndiesCricket #IndianCricket #VintageCricket #RainAffectedMatch #CricketArchive #CaribbeanCricket
