But Zimbabwean captain and current Indian coach Duncan Fletcher decided to dig in, scoring an unbeaten 69 and with the help of Kevin Curran (27) and Iain Butchart (34) took the total to a respectable 239 in allotted 60 overs.

He also turned his arm over to wreck the Australian chase with 4 wickets for 42 runs which included the wickets of Kim Hughes, David Hookes and Graeme Wood. Australia failed to reach the total by 13 runs and Zimbabwe shocked the mighty Australians in their very first game thanks to Duncan Fletcher.

Navjot Singh Sidhu had made his test debut In 1983 against the West Indies, but he was discarded after being labelled as a stroke less wonder for his dour batting style. Sidhu went back to domestic cricket and practised hitting sixes each day.

He was chosen for the 1987 World cup and made his ODI debut against Australia in a very exciting match. Australia made 270 with the help of Geoff Marsh’s 110. India began their chase in style with Sunil Gavaskar and Kris Srikkanth going after the Australian bowlers. Sidhu came into bat at the fall of Gavaskar’s wicket and blasted 73 runs including 5 huge sixes. Despite his effort, India lost by just 1 run.

Sidhu became the first player to hit 4 consecutive 50s in a World cup and earned the moniker of Sixer Sidhu.

Dennis Amiss was a very good opening batsman and he lit up the very first match of the first Prudential World cup in 1975 with a wonderful century.

The match was played at the historical Lord’s ground in England. Amiss batting first, made 137 runs at a strike rate of 93. England scored a mammoth 334 runs in 60 overs. India just managed to get just 132 runs on the board with Sunil Gavaskar making a tortured 36 runs off 174 balls and remained not out.
