The seventh edition of the World Cup returned back to England after a gap of 16 years. As many as 12 teams took part in this 42-match long tournament with Bangladesh and Scotland being the new entrants. This tournament saw the introduction of ‘Super Six’ stage out of which four teams made it to the Semis.
Australia emerged the winner of the 1999 World Cup defeating Pakistan in a heavily one-sided final at Lord’s. It was a disastrous batting failure from Pakistan that provided an embarrassing final show. Australia’s journey to dominate the cricketing world for years to come followed after this cup glory. It was also the second time that the Aussies had clinched the Cricket World Cup, the first one coming in 1987.
