Sir Vivian Richards single-handedly decimated England in this match where he scored his highest score in ODIs, 189*. West Indies were struggling at 12/2 when he came out to bat and he stayed on smashing the England bowlers as well as milking them for singles.

Sir Vivian Richards took charge and began an all-out attack especially targeting the all-rounder Ian Botham. Holding held on and he remained unbeaten on 12 off 27 balls and Viv finished off with a mammoth 189 off 170 balls in one of the greatest ODI innings ever as the Windies scored 272/9 in 55 overs.

England got all out for 168 as Joel Garner picked up three wickets. Holding and Sir Viv Richards picked up two wickets each to wrap up a memorable ODI win for Windies.
