The fifth edition of the World Cup went down to the Southern Hemisphere with Australia and New Zealand playing hosts to the 39-match tournament. This World Cup was extremely colourful as the traditional whites of the players and the red balls went for a toss. Each country had its colourful jersy to make this tournament exciting along with white balls, black sightscreens and day/night matches.
Nine teams took part in this tournament and the group system was abandoned as each team played the other eight teams once. The four top teams then made it to the Semi Finals. There was a new team this time with South Africa returning back after a long apartheid era to international cricket and they surprised each and every cricket fan as they were no push overs at all like the other minnows! Infact they could have made it to the Final but for the tragic rain rule at that time.
Pakistan lifted this World Cup under the inspiring leadership of all-rounder Imran Khan though at one stage they were looking pathetically out of the competition. Pakistan defeated England in the Final at Melbourne.
