The New Zealand national cricket team toured Australia in the 1982-83 season and played a total of 21 matches, mostly One Day Internationals in the Benson & Hedges World Series Cup against Australia and England.
New Zealand reached the finals of the competition but lost to Australia 2-0.
A highlight of the finals series was a 21-ball half century from Lance Cairns at the Melbourne Cricket Ground containing 6 sixes.
In order to raise funds for the 1983 bushfires, the New Zealanders returned to Australia, a month after they played in the Benson & Hedges World Series Cup.
