The English batsmen mistimed many balls and used the bat 's edge frequently, as the restrictive Indian bowling led England to score 213 ( all out, 60 overs ). Graeme Fowler ( 33 from 59 balls, 3 fours ) top scored, and Kapil Dev took 3 for 35 in eleven overs, with Mohinder Amarnath and Roger Binny taking two wickets each. In reply, Yashpal Sharma ( 61 from 115 balls, 3 fours, 2 sixes ) and Sandeep Patil ( 51 from 32 balls, 8 fours ) made half - centuries, as India reached their target in 54.4 overs, winning by 6 wickets in a classic victory over the previous tournament 's runners - up. Mohinder Amarnath ( 46 from 92 balls, 4 fours, 1 six ) picked up the man - of - the - match award for his all round performance, which saw him add 46 runs to his earlier bowling success ( 2 / 27 in 12 overs ). 22 June 1983 scorecard Pakistan 184 / 8 ( 60 overs ) West Indies 188 / 2 ( 48.4 overs ) West Indies won by 8 wickets The Oval, London The second semi-final, between Pakistan and the West Indies, was staged at The Oval on the same day. West Indies won the toss and invited Pakistan to bat, whom they restricted to just 184 ( 8 wickets, 60 overs ). Mohsin Khan ( 70 from 176 balls, 1 four ) fought his way past 50 against the superb West Indies Bowling ( he was the only Pakistani batsman to reach 50 ). Malcolm Marshall ( 3 / 28 ) and Andy Roberts ( 2 / 25 ) starred with the ball. The West Indies innings was based around a superb innings by Viv Richards ( 80 from 96 balls, 11 fours, 1 six ), who took the man - of - the - match award, and an unbeaten half - century by Larry Gomes ( 50 from 100 balls, 3 fours ), as the defending champions reached their target for the loss of just two wickets. Final Main article : 1983 Cricket World Cup Final 25 June 1983 scorecard India 183 ( 54.4 overs ) West Indies 140 ( 52 overs ) India won by 43 runs Lord 's, London In the final, India lost the toss and were asked to bat first against a West Indies team that arguably boasted the world 's best bowling attack. Only Krishnamachari Srikkanth ( 38 from 57 balls ) and Mohinder Amarnath ( 26 from 80 balls ) put up any significant resistance as Roberts, Marshall, Joel Garner and Michael Holding ripped through the Indian batsmen, ably supported by Gomes. Surprising resistance by the tail allowed India to compile 183 ( all out, 54.4 overs ). When Indian chips were down Kapil Dev said `` team if this is not a winning total its definitely a fighting total '' One of the popular quotes of all time. However, the Indian bowling exploited the weather and pitch conditions perfectly to bowl out the best batting lineup of the era for 140 from 52 overs in return, winning by 43 runs and completing one of the most stunning upsets in cricket history. Amarnath and Madan Lal each took three wickets, and one memorable moment was the sight of Kapil Dev running about 20 yards ( 18 m ) to take a catch to dismiss Richards, the West Indies ' top scorer with 33 from 28 balls. Amarnath was the most economical bowler, conceding just 12 runs from his seven overs, while taking 3 wickets, and was once again awarded the Man of the Match award for his all - round performance. There was no ' Man of the Series ' awarded in 1983.
