Cricket World Cup History
1983 England
West Indies swaggered into Lord's seeking a hat-trick of trophies. They slipped away in stunned disbelief as joyous Indian supporters acclaimed their greatest day.
A puny victory target of 184 looked a formality as Richards laid bat to ball with contemptuous certainty, striking seven fours in his 33. But after striking Madan Lal for three fours he top-edged an attempted six to allow India captain Kapil Dev to run back and claim a skilful catch above his head.
Lloyd pulled a muscle attempting his first run and the innings subsequently disintegrated. For days all India celebrated a match which generated the explosion in one-day cricket on the sub-continent.
Scores: India 193 off 54.4 overs (K.Srikkanth 38); West Indies 140 off 52 overs (V.Richards 33). India won by 43 runs.
