Cricket World Cup History

1992 Australia / New Zealand
                               
Captain Imran Khan famously urged Pakistan to fight like cornered tigers after they appeared down and out in the fifth World Cup. They responded by surging to the final against England where the great all rounder produced his final
match-winning performance for his country.
                               
Imran promoted himself to number three and his measured 72, coupled with 58 from Javed Miandad, in a third-wicket partnership of 139 took Pakistan to 249 for six.
                               
Wasim Akram, moving the ball fiendishly late, took key wickets as England steadily fell behind the asking rate while Imran took the final wicket in a farewell to international cricket he could have scripted himself.
                               
Scores: Pakistan 249 for six off 50 overs (Imran Khan 72, Javed Miandad 58); England 227 off 49.2 overs (N.Fairbrother 62). Pakistan won by 22 runs.
