I'll take this. Passes the criteria at first glance, just some recommendations to tighten the text:

Is there any way you could link 'run chase' for the reader's benefit?

Linked to the glossary. Harrias ^talk 17:38, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"...despite the match having two reserve days" → "even though the match had two reserve days," to avoid noun + -ing construction

Changed as suggested. Harrias ^talk 17:38, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"...aided primarily by a score of 139 not out by Viv Richards, ~~for which he was named~~ man of the match", who was later named

Changed as suggested. Harrias ^talk 17:38, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Garner's bowling was once again miserly in the quarter-final against Kent, in which he conceded five runs in nine overs" → "Garner's bowling was once again miserly in the quarter-final against Kent; he conceded five runs in nine overs..."

Changed as suggested. Harrias ^talk 17:38, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"...and a 15 minute tea interval after 25 overs", 15-minute should be hypenated.

Changed as suggested. Harrias ^talk 17:38, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"He cited the talent of Richards as their primary asset, but ~~also~~ asserted that they were "not a one man side"."

Changed as suggested. Harrias ^talk 17:38, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Jack Alridge praised Long's captaincy in the final, highlighting the use of slower bowling against Richards as Ian Botham as being particularly commendable," reads clunky.

Corrected (it should have been "Richards and Ian Botham", but I need to look at this again. Harrias ^talk 17:38, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Row and col scopes could be added to the tables per MOS:DTT.

Done. Harrias ^talk 17:38, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Prose is clear and concise, references are presented accordingly. No dab or dead links. Three images have appropriate licence. Comes up fine on the copyvio detector. Shall pass once comments have been addressed. Lemonade51 (talk) 18:12, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. I am super-busy off-wiki at the moment, but I'm hoping to sneak in some time for this at the weekend. Harrias ^talk 19:50, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
