The 1999 Cricket World Cup was hosted primarily by England, but Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands also hosted some games. The World Cup was won by Australia. Australia beat Pakistan by 8 wickets in a one-sided final at Lord's Cricket Ground in London. New Zealand and South Africa were the other semifinalists.
The format of the world cup was as follows: The 12 contestants were
divided into 2 groups, in each of which teams played each other in the
league stage. The top three from each group advanced to the Super
Sixes, a new concept brought about in this World Cup, where each
qualifier from group A played with each qualifier from group B. The
teams also carried forward their points from games against each qualifer from their group. The top four in the Super Sixes contested the semifinals.
Teams
The following teams contested:
- Test Nations
- Australia, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Zimbabwe

- 17 June 1999 Aus: 213 (S Pollock 5/36) v South Africa: 213, Birmingham, Match tied
Australia progressed to the final due to being ahead of South
Africa on the Super Six points table, which in turn was decided on net
run rate, since the two teams were tied with Pakistan on points and
each had won one game against the other two opponents so head-to-head
determination could not split them.
Final
- 20 June 1999 Australia: 133/2 v Pakistan: 132, Lord's, Australia won by 8 wickets
Shane Warne was adjudged Man of the Match in the final as well as in the semi final. Rahul Dravid of India made the most runs while Lance Klusener of South Africa was declared the Man of the Tournament for his brilliant all round performance. Sourav Ganguly of India made the highest score by posting a mammoth 183 against Sri Lanka at Taunton.
