It was hosted primarily by England, with selected matches also played in Wales, Scotland, Ireland and the Netherlands. The tournament was won by Australia, who beat Pakistan by 8 wickets in the final at Lord's in London. The tournament was hosted three years after the previous Cricket World Cup, deviating from the usual four-year gap.16 October 2019 Sourav Ganguly Doubtful About ICC's Plans To Host Cricket World Cup Every Three Years https://www.outlookindia.com/sports/sports-news-sourav-ganguly-doubtful-about-iccs-plans-to-host-cricket-world-cup-every-three-years-news-340587 23 November 2020 Outlook PTI Format It featured 12 teams, playing a total of 42 matches. In the group stage, the teams were divided into two groups of six; each team played all the others in their group once. The top three teams from each group advanced to the Super Sixes, a new concept for the 1999 World Cup; each team carried forward the points from the games against the other qualifiers from their group and then played each of the qualifiers from the other group (in other words, each qualifier from Group A played each qualifier from Group B and vice versa). The top four teams in the Super Sixes advanced to the semi-finals.

After going through two group stages, the semi-finals saw Kenya and Bangladesh qualify through to the World Cup. Scotland would be the third nation to qualify as they defeated Ireland in the third-place playoff.http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/ICCT97/ICCT97_HEADLINES.html Carlsberg ICC Trophy, Malaysia Headlines 31 July 2019 TeamMethod of qualificationFinals appearancesLast appearancePrevious best performanceGroupENGHosts7th1996Runners-up (1979, 1987, 1992)AAUSFull member7th1996Champions (1987)BIND7th1996Champions (1983)ANZL7th1996Semi-finals (1975, 1979, 1992)BPAK7th1996Champions (1992)BRSA3rd1996Semi-finals (1992)ASRI7th1996Champions (1996)AWIN7th1996Champions (1975, 1979)BZIM5th1996Group stage (All)ABAN1997 ICC Trophy winner1st—DebutBKEN1997 ICC Trophy runner-up2nd1996Group stage (1996)ASCO1997 ICC Trophy third place1st—DebutB Venues England 400 right Venues in England England 51 31 N 0 10 W left Lord's England 51 29 N 0 7 W right The Oval England 50 49 N 0 10 W Left Hove England 51 1 N 3 6 W left Taunton England 51 16 N 1 5 E left Canterbury England 52 36 N 1 8 W right Leicester England 52 14 N 0 52 W right Northampton England 52 11 N 2 13 W left Worcester England 51 28 N 2 35 W right Bristol England 52 56 N 1 7 W right Nottingham England 52 27 N 1 54 W left Birmingham England 51 43 N 0 28 E right Chelmsford England 50 55 N 1 24 W left Southampton England 54 50 N 1 33 W left Chester-le-Street England 53 49 N 1 34 W left Leeds England 52 55 N 1 27 W left Derby England 53 27 N 2 17 W left Manchester England VenueCityCapacityMatchesEdgbaston Cricket GroundBirmingham, West Midlands21,0003County Cricket GroundBristol8,0002St Lawrence GroundCanterbury, Kent15,000 1County Cricket GroundChelmsford, Essex6,5002Riverside GroundChester-le-Street, County Durham15,0002County Cricket GroundDerby, Derbyshire9,5001County Cricket GroundHove, Sussex7,0001HeadingleyLeeds, West Yorkshire17,5003Grace RoadLeicester, Leicestershire12,0002Lord'sLondon, Greater London28,0003The OvalLondon, Greater London25,5003Old TraffordManchester, Greater Manchester22,0003County Cricket GroundNorthampton, Northamptonshire6,5002Trent BridgeNottingham, Nottinghamshire17,5003County Cricket GroundSouthampton, Hampshire6,5002County Cricket GroundTaunton, Somerset6,5002New RoadWorcester, Worcestershire4,5002 Outside England Scotland played two of their Group B matches in their home country becoming the first associate nation to host games in a World Cup.

Super Six Teams who qualified for the Super Six stage only played against the teams from the other group; results against the other teams from the same group were carried forward to this stage. Results against the non-qualifying teams were therefore discarded at this point. As a result of League match losses against New Zealand and Pakistan, even though Australia finished second in their group, they progressed to the Super Six stage with no points carried forward (PCF). India faced similar circumstances, finishing 2nd in their group but carrying forward 0 points after losing to fellow qualifiers Zimbabwe and South Africa. During their super six clash, Pakistan and India were officially at war at the time of their match, the only time this has ever happened in the history of the sport.https://www.dawn.com/news/1245222 1999: When Pakistan and India went to war, on and off the field 18 March 2016 19 August 2022https://www.indiatimes.com/sports/in-1999-as-the-kargil-war-went-on-india-played-a-historic-world-cup-match-against-pakistan-322917.html While Our Armies Battled In Kargil, India Faced Off Against Pakistan In A Do-Or-Die World Cup Game 26 July 2020 19 August 2022https://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/world-cup-1999-india-and-pakistan-put-aside-kargil-to-battle-on-field-246287 World Cup 1999: India and Pakistan put aside Kargil to battle on field 8 February 2015 19 August 2022 Points carried forward (PCF)ResultsAgainst qualified teamsWin2 pointsNo result / tie1 pointsLoss0 point PosTeamPldWLNRTNRRPtsPCF1PAK532000.65642AUS532000.36603RSA532000.17624NZL52210−0.52525ZIM52210−0.79546IND51400−0.1520Source: Cricinfo 4 June 1999 AUS 282/6 (50 overs) 205 (48.2 overs) IND Mark Waugh 83 (99) Robin Singh 2/43 (7 overs) Ajay Jadeja 100* (138) Glenn McGrath 3/34 (10 overs) Australia won by 77 runs Scorecard The Oval, London Steve Bucknor (WI) and Peter Willey (Eng) Glenn McGrath (Aus) India won the toss and elected to field. 5 June 1999 PAK 220/7 (50 overs) 221/7 (49 overs) RSA Moin Khan 63 (56) Steve Elworthy 2/23 (10 overs) Jacques Kallis 54 (98) Azhar Mahmood 3/24 (10 overs) South Africa won by 3 wickets Scorecard Trent Bridge, Nottingham Darrell Hair (Aus) and David Shepherd (Eng) Lance Klusener (SA) Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat. 6–7 June 1999 ZIM 175 (49.3 overs) 70/3 (15 overs) NZL Murray Goodwin 57 (90) Chris Cairns 3/24 (6.3 overs) Matt Horne 35 (35) Guy Whittall 1/9 (3 overs) No result Scorecard Headingley, Leeds Dave Orchard (SA) and Srinivasaraghavan Venkataraghavan (Ind) Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bat.
