Coloured clothing made its debut, day-night matches were played and South Africa returned from an international sport ban as Australia and New Zealand hosted the Cup.

All nine teams played each other in a round-robin, which worked but has never been repeated.

South Africa beat Australia on their way to the semis, but lost controversially - rain rules at the time meant they needed 22 off only one ball.

England, including the likes of Alec Stewart and Graham Gooch, were favourites to win but Imran Khan's 72 helped Pakistan to victory.
