1992 ICC Cricket World Cup


The ICC Cricket World Cup is the premier international championship of One Day International (ODI) cricket, organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Played every four years, it brings together the world’s top national teams to compete in 50-over matches for the sport’s most prestigious trophy.

The tournament was first held in 1975 in England, with the West Indies emerging as the inaugural champions.

Australia has been the most successful team, winning six titles, including the most recent in 2023 after defeating India in the final in Ahmedabad. Teams qualify through a combination of automatic entry for top-ranked nations and a global qualification tournament.

The World Cup is celebrated not only for its high level of competition but also for uniting cricket fans worldwide in one of the sport’s biggest and most-watched events.

1992 ICC Cricket World Cup

Imran Khan's Pakistani team defeated England in a memorable final at the MCG to take the 1992 World Cup. The 1992 Cricket World Cup (also known as Benson & Hedges World Cup) was the fifth edition of the tournament and was held from 22 February to 25 March 1992 in Australia and New Zealand. The 1992 World Cup was notable in that it was a first to feature coloured player clothing, white cricket balls and black sightscreens with a number of matches being played under floodlights. It also recognised as one of the best organised world cups, and marked the re-entry of a post-apartheid South African team.
