Group stage (Group A) — 1975 Cricket World Cup
June 11, 1975 · Headingley, Leeds
Result: INIndia — India won by 10 wickets. EAEast Africa 120 all out (55.3 overs), INIndia 123/0 (29.5 overs). June 11, 1975 · Headingley, Leeds.
A pointed contrast with Gavaskar's earlier innings against England: here he batted freely for an unbeaten 65 in an unbroken 123-run opening stand with Engineer that completed a 10-wicket win. East Africa's overs faced (55.3 vs. an alternate source's 53.3) has a minor unresolved discrepancy across sources; Engineer's Player of the Match award is moderately, not fully, confirmed.
