The home skipper won the toss and quite rightly elected to bat. The wicket was on the hard side | and the halls were humping very | Awkwardly at times, but Madar agil Ackbor played a good gauna to give the Indiana a fairly good start, the first wicket falling after the forty had been haisted. Then a rot net in for the next wicket Fell with no addition to the score and for a time things went absolutely against the 1.4.C., so much so that it appeared! the Portuguese team would wit hands down.
Then bolyted Nartnership between Rumjahn and Arculli somewhat unproved the situation and the last wicket fell A: 100 which was by no means a good wore. Taking everything into egnsideration, the Indians did quite ! well to pass the century mark for at one stage, the score board showed Romething like 8 for 80.
