Controversy of 1992 World Cup
Rain was the real villain of this match South Africa, chasing 256 to win a rain-revised target of 192 in the reduced match.

When Brian Lara Was the Hero of the 1996 World Cup
And who can forget how Brian Lara played the game of his life to score 111 in a match-winning effort Lara’s role was critical in chasing down South Africa’s set target of 245 and formed useful partnerships to ensure the win.
