Winners (1992)

Pakistan made a slow start at the 1992 tournament in Australia and New Zealand, picking up just three points (one win, one no-result) across their first five matches.

Their comeback to squeeze into the four is made more remarkable considering the opposition in the back half. The side beat Australia in Perth by 48 runs, won in the last over chasing Sri Lanka’s 212, before overcoming New Zealand in Christchurch who were unbeaten when the teams met.

Four wins and a washout were enough for the men in green to squeeze into the fourth spot for the semi-finals, though it meant a re-match with New Zealand who finished top of the round-robin stage at Eden Park in Auckland.

Set a tough 263 for victory, Pakistan paced their chase with starts from Ramiz Raja and captain Imran Khan (both 44) setting the platform. Javed Miandad (57*) carried through the middle and latter stages, while Inzamam-ul-Haq (60 off 37 balls) and Moin Khan (20* from 11 balls) flurries ensured a successful chase.
