WEST INDIES vs PAKISTAN
2nd Semi Final
22 June 1983
The Oval, London
PAKISTAN - 184/8 (60)
WEST INDIES - 188/2 (48.4)
West Indies beat Pakistan by 8 wickets
The West Indies won the toss, and invited Pakistan to bat first -- not to self-destruct.
Malcolm Marshall claims Imran Khan's wicketBut self-destruct Pakistan did, in an abject batting performance that produced only 184/8 in the allotted 60 overs against steady, but unspectacular, bowling by the Windies quicks. And even that score was made possible only by the determined vigil of opener Mohsin Khan (70/176), who batted for all but three of the allotted overs. Zaheer Abbas made 30 off 38 in a 54-run third wicket stand with Mohsin before throwing his wicket away, coming way down the wicket to Gomes only to chop the ball back onto his stumps with the scoreboard reading a mere 88 at the time.
The third highest scorer in the side was Extras with 28. Roberts, Garner, Marshall and Holding all completed their overs for very few runs, and even the fifth bowling combination of Larry Gomes and Vivian Richards was not tested by the Pakistan batsmen, who allowed those two to bowl their 12 overs for just 46 runs, and the wicket of Abbas.
Against that kind of total, West Indies was not going to give it away. Though Greenidge and Haynes got out relatively cheaply with the first wicket falling at 34 and the second at 56, Larry Gomes played a restrained knock of 50 in 100 deliveries, content to watch Viv Richards at the other end smash 80 off 96 to take the Windies past the target in the 49th over, with eight wickets still in hand.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH Viv Richards
