World Cup Cricket 1999
The world championships returned to England for the Cricket World Cup 1999. The event was co-hosted by neighboring Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands and held between 14 May and 20 June, 1999.
It was in this seventh edition that the concept of Super Sixes was introduced. The 12 participants of Cricket World Cup 1999 were divided into two groups of six teams each. Every team had to play each other in their respective groups.
The top three teams from each of the two groups advanced to the Super Six stage wherein each team from one group had to contest all teams in the other group. A points table was maintained to calculate the best four teams for the semifinal stage of Cricket World Cup 1999. Out of these four teams, the best two went on to play in the final match.
At the Cricket World Cup 1999, the semifinals were played by New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and Pakistan. In the final encounter at Lord’s Cricket Stadium, Australia beat Pakistan by eight wickets to lay hands on their second World Cup.
