Pakistan v West Indies, Tri Series (50 overs), 1st Match, Melbourne, 1981/2
Pitch: 1 - Good Batting Wicket
Weather: 7 - Heavy Cloud
Pakistan won the toss and batted first on a good batting wicket.
The openers started streakily, Mudassar edging one through gully off Marshall, before being trapped lbw by the same bowler with the total on 26/1 off 7.4 overs.
Pakistan captain Zaheer Abbas then joined Mohsin Khan, and the pair added 38 before Zaheer had his stumps splayed by a trademark Joel Garner yorker for 15.
That left the score 64/2 off 18 overs.
Mohsin, having looked good for his 37, then fell lbw to Holding, leaving the score 64/3 off 18.4 and the Pakistan innings in some need of rebuilding.
Javed Miandad was dropped badly by Dujon down the legside off Garner on 2, it was to prove a vital miss.
Javed and Wasim Raja then added a brilliant counterattacking stand of 147 for the 4th wicket, off 158 balls, the pair hitting 18 fours and 7 sixes between them.
Javed, again dropped on 57, this time by Roberts at cover off Holding, rode his luck to make 76 off 78 balls, while Raja was eventually bowled by a Marshall yorker for a career best ODI score of 94.
Javed had earlier brought up his 50 off 51 balls, while Wasim Raja took 63 balls for his.
Imran was out first ball, but by then it didn't really matter, and Pakistan eventually totalled 249/7 off their 50 overs, a solid performance on a good pitch.
Holding was the pick of the bowlers, with 3-46.

Wasim Raja made a career best ODI score of 94 off 94 balls with 10 fours and 4 sixes
Pakistan v West Indies, Tri Series (50 overs), 1st Match, Melbourne, 1981/2
Pitch: 1 - Good Batting Wicket ( Overs 0 - 32) then 7A - Fast Paced Wicket (Overs 32-50)
Weather: Heavy Cloud
In a dramatic finish, with Sarfraz bowling an excellent second last over conceding just two runs and taking a wicket, West Indies needed 6 runs from the final over bowled by Mudassar Nazar.
Imran had earlier bowled out when things got desperate, claiming 3-37 to keep Pakistan in the game, leaving Mudassar to bowl the final over.
Mudassar conceded just 3 runs, and had Holding lbw from the first 5 balls, leaving 3 runs needed for the win off the last ball, or 2 for the tie.
Malcolm Marshall then pulled a good length ball from Mudassar for 4 to win the game for the West Indies from the final ball by 2 wickets.
The run chase was set up by Richards, opening for the first time in ODI's with 82 before being caught off a skier, and Greenidge, batting at 3, with 74.
The pair took a long time to get settled, but once they got flowing the Pakistani bowlers were powerless to stop the flow of runs.
Richards scored his 50 off 80 balls, and Greenidge his off 98, before both sped up in the later overs.
With the pitch speeding up, runs and wickets flowed.
The West Indies were sustained in the final overs by Dujon, who made an 39 off 24 balls, and got them close enough for Marshall to finish things off.
Man of the Match was Wasim Raja for his fighting 94 in a losing cause, his career best innings so nearly bringing his team victory.

All managers should be aware in future that batsman take longer to get settled when batting out of position.
Applies to openers batting in the middle order, or middle order batting as openers.
It hampered Richards and Greenidge this game, but didn't end up costing West Indies victory.

What a heartbreak! 
Will you continue this @Slowcoach
Next match is the 2nd Tri-Series match at Sydney, between Australia and Pakistan @CerealKiller and @Sodium.
Name your XI's from the available fit players, and what you would like to do if you win the toss.
Fit to play again after recovering from his knee injury is Majid Khan for Pakistan.
Australia v Pakistan, 2nd Tri-Series Match, Sydney, 1981/2
Pitch: (5) - Normal pitch - A rather scruffy pitch that should help the bowlers throughout.
Players not available due to illness or injury:
Pakistan:
Iqbal Qasim - miss 1 match with hamstring trouble
Australia:
Kim Hughes - miss 1 match with a knee injury
