Prudential World Cup, 1983 |

India surprised one and all when they upset red-hot
favourites West Indies by 43 runs to pocket the coveted World
Cup. Asked to take first strike, Indian batsmen struggled
to come to terms with the incisive Windies bowling attack
on a strip, which had plenty of juice for the quicks.
Opener Krishmachari Srikanth top-scored with 38 as India were
packed out for a measly 183 in 54.4 overs. Sandeep Patil and
Mohinder Amarnath spared India the blushes contributing 27
and 26 respectively, which in the context of the match proved
invaluable in the end. Andy Roberts did most of the damage
for West Indies claiming 3 for 32.
Set a target of 184 for victory, the West Indian batsmen committed
hara-kiri to be skittled out for 140. Champion batsman Vivian
Richards was the only batsman to provide a semblance of respectability
to the score notching 33.
Madan Lal and Mohinder Amarnath, hithero unheralded bowlers,
emerged as the nemesis for the mighty Windies as they shared
six of the ten wickets between them. Mohinder Amarnath, who
chipped in a useful 26 with the bat was named Man of the Match. |
