Lance (The destroyer)

he most dramatic finish in the history of one-day cricket saw eventual champions Australia scrape through to the final on net run-rate after both sides had been bowled out for the same score. The Aussies' dramatic late charge through the tournament looked over as Lance Klusener bludgeoned his way to 31 in balls to all but tilt a seesaw match decisively in South Africa's favour. Klusner levelled the scores at 213 in the final over, but a rush of blood resulted in Allan Donald being run out with two balls to spare. It was the World Cup's first-ever tie and apart from the sensational finish it was littered with fine performances on both sides.
