The semi -final match was against England. This match being played in Old Trafford is also called their most memorable match. England all -rounder Ian Botham was a dangerous batsman. He had started well. Kapil Dev gave the ball to Kirti Azad to Tahmai Kirti’s ball and caught him at Batham when he had scored 33 runs and looked a headache for India. England’s team stumbled.
