The left-hander batted at number six after his team had lost four wickets for 132 runs. West Indies had won the toss and elected to bat first. After batting for five balls, Sobers couldn't score a run and got out on the sixth ball of his innings to Chris Old. The former's dismissal led to a batting collapse and the team went from 133/5 to 181 all-out with only Deryck Murray (11) and Vanburn Holder (10) managing to cross double-figure scores. For the Three Lions, Old and Derek Underwood took three wickets each. For the visitors, skipper Rohan Kanhai was the highest scorer with 55 runs to his name. Defending a modest target of 182 runs, the Caribbean side fought back with the ball in hand. Holder, Keith Boyce, Bernard Julien took two wickets each while Sobers and Lance Gibbs took a wicket each. Despite their best efforts, the Men In Maroon lost the match by one wicket.
