Group stage (Group B) — 1983 Cricket World Cup

Result: AUAustralia — Australia won by 32 runs. AUAustralia 272/7 (60 overs), ZIZimbabwe 240 all out (59.5 overs). June 16, 1983 · County Ground, Southampton.

Houghton's 84 was the best Zimbabwean innings of the tournament outside the Fletcher/Curran contributions elsewhere; his Player of the Match award is corroborated by only one direct source, though his top score is solid. An earlier automated research pass briefly swapped Houghton's and Fletcher's names against these scores; corrected via cross-referencing before entry, and some middle-order bowler-to-wicket pairings remain less certain than for other matches this round despite the final scores and margin being solid.
