West Indies used just 4 main bowlers in the tournament while Captain Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards worked as useful assists. All the players, except Lance Gibbs, who did not bat, had hit at least two boundaries during the 5 matches of the tournament with Lloyd scoring their only century while Kallicharan being their highest scorer of the tournament. The 5 run outs in the final that included three exceptional run outs by Vivian Richards got them the trophy.
