Well it was 1983 when Zimbabwe make it's debut in the worldcup.
However Zimbabwe, making its Cup debut in 1983 worldcup, shocked an Australian side that was
still trying to find its feet after the upheaval of the Packer era. Batting first, Zimbabwe made 239/6 in the alloted overs after being in big trouble at one point 94/5. Barring Kepler Wessels and Rodney Marsh, none of the other Australian batsmen came to the party, the team managing just 226/7 in the 60 overs. Duncan Fletcher, now coaching England, provided the star turn with an innings of 69 not out, followed by 4/42 in his 11 overs.
However in the 2nd round, Zimbabwe lose to India.
