SOUTH AFRICA 1992 WORLD CUP

South Africa’s World Cup debut ended in farce when they were knocked out at the semi-final stage of the 1992 World Cup after a rain delay late in the game against England. The Proteas needed a difficult but achievable 22 from 13 balls with four wickets in hand when the rain came. When the rain gods relebted the ICC’s ‘highest overs scoring’ rule calculated a revised target of 22 from one ball to leave the South Africans fuming.
