England vs South Africa – 1992 World Cup, Semi-Final:
In their first ICC World Cup, South Africa had played top-class to make it to the semis. The Benson and Hedges World Cup had witnessed plenty before luck favoured England.
After losing the toss, England managed 252 for six in 45 overs. South Africa had also faced slow-over rate fine which already saw overs being curtailed in the first innings.
In reply, the Proteas put up the decent effort with the bat. At one stage, South Africa required 48 off 30 deliveries when they had four wickets in hand.
In between Brian McMillan and David Richardson had played an imperative role to make the task a bit easier. At one stage, the Proteas required 13-ball 22 before rain halted the game for a brief period.
Interestingly, the target was revised that the Proteas need 22 off seven balls. However, moments later target was adjusted to 22 off a solitary delivery.
Thus, it has irked the fans who had lashed out at ICC’s rule book which eventually cost South Africa their final berth.
