1987 Cricket World Cup

Fourth edition of the Cricket World Cup February 2013 September 2021 1987 Cricket World Cup 1987 Cricket World Cup Logo.svg 160px International Cricket Conference One Day International Double round-robin and Knockout India Pakistan AUS 1 ENG 8 27 ENG Graham Gooch (471) AUS Craig McDermott (18) 1983 1983 Cricket World Cup 1992 1992 Cricket World Cup 8 October 8 November 1987 The 1987 Cricket World Cup (officially known as the Reliance Cup 1987 for sponsorship reasons) was the fourth Cricket World Cup. It was held from 8 October to 8 November 1987 in India and Pakistan – the first such tournament to be held outside England. The one-day format was unchanged from the eight-team 1983 event except for a reduction in the number of overs a team played from 60 to 50, the current standard for all ODIs. The competition was won, for the first time, by Australia who defeated their arch-rivals England by seven runs in the second-most closely fought World Cup final to date in Kolkata's Eden Gardens stadium. The two host nations, India and Pakistan failed to reach the final, after both being eliminated in the semi-finals. The West Indies failed to live up to expectations and did not advance from the group stage.The gracious Mr Walsh http://www.espncricinfo.com/wctimeline/content/story/500463.html ESPNcricinfo 5 April 2011 5 April 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110318175903/http://www.espncricinfo.com/wctimeline/content/story/500463.html 18 March 2011 live Format The format of the competition was two groups of four teams each team playing each other twice in 50-over matches. The top two teams from each group would advance to the semi-finals where the two winners would then advance to the final. All matches were played during daytime and– for the final time in the tournament's history– saw the teams appear in traditional white clothing and use traditional red balls as used in Test/First Class matches. Qualification 1986 ICC Trophy The ICC decreed that all seven eligible countries holding Test status would automatically qualify for the tournament. One additional place would be awarded to the winners of the 1986 ICC Trophy. For the second consecutive tournament this was Zimbabwe, who defeated the Netherlands. thumb|269x269px|Highlighted are the countries to participate in the 1987 Cricket World Cup.#0000ff Qualified as full member of ICC#00cc00 Qualified via 1986 ICC Trophy#ffcc00 Failed to qualify The following eight teams participated in the tournament: Australia England India (co-hosts) New Zealand Pakistan (co-hosts) Sri Lanka West Indies Zimbabwe Venues India 350 right Venues in India India 22 33 88 20 left Calcutta India 28 38 77 14 left Delhi India 23 05 72 35 top Ahmedabad India 13 03 80 16 right Madras India 22 41 75 44 bottom Indore India 21 09 79 04 right Nagpur India 12 97 77 35 left Bangalore India 18 53 72 49 left Mumbai India 17 00 78 50 left Hyderabad India 20 27 85 52 right Cuttack India 30 08 76 06 top Chandigarh India 18 28 73 47 right Pune India 26 54 75 48 left Jaipur India 26 27 80 20 right Kanpur Pakistan 350 right Venues in Pakistan Pakistan 34 01 71 35 left Peshawar Pakistan 31 33 74 20 bottom Lahore Pakistan 31 22 73 5 left Faisalabad Pakistan 32 09 74 11 right Gujranwala Pakistan 24 51 67 00 left Karachi Pakistan 33 36 73 02 right Rawalpindi Pakistan 25 36 68 02 right Hyderabad VenueCityCapacityMatchesIndiaEden GardensCalcutta, West Bengal120,0002Wankhede StadiumBombay, Maharashtra45,0002M.

Knockout stage 1987 Cricket World Cup knockout stage 4 November – Lahore, Pakistan AUS 267/8 PAK 249 5 November – Bombay, India ENG 254/6 IND 219 8 November – Calcutta, India AUS 253/5 ENG 246/8 Semi-finals Australia won the toss and chose to bat. The Australian batsmen got off to a very good start, and they scored fluently, with David Boon (65 from 91 balls, 4 fours) top scoring, and making an 82 run second-wicket partnership with DM Jones. Australia were looking to reach 300 with strong batting before Imran Khan took 3 wickets for 17 runs in 5 overs. Australia lost 4/31, but a high number of extras (34) from the Pakistani bowlers, as well as the solid batting from earlier on, brought Australia to 267 (8 wickets, 50 overs). Pakistan started badly, falling to 3/38. Imran Khan (58 from 84 balls, 4 fours) and Javed Miandad (70 from 103 balls, 4 fours) shared a partnership of 112 runs in 26 overs. However, with the required run rate at 7.87 runs when Miandad fell, there was just too much for the upcoming batsmen to do, and Pakistan lost 6/99 as they were bowled all out for 249 (all out, 49 overs). Earlier Steve Waugh scored 18 runs off the 50th over bowled by Saleem Jaffar and ironically Pakistan lost the match by 18 runs. #eee 4 November 1987 AUS 267/8 (50 overs) 249 (49 overs) PAK Australia won by 18 runs Scorecard Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, Pakistan India won the toss and chose to field. After reaching 2/79, Graham Gooch (115 from 136 balls, 11 fours) and captain Mike Gatting (56 from 62 balls, 5 fours) shared a partnership of 117 runs in 19 overs. After Gooch was finally stumped, 51 more runs were added, and England reached 254 (6 wickets, 50 overs). India made a bad start, falling to 3/73. The middle order scored fluently, with Mohammed Azharuddin, (64 from 74 balls, 7 fours) top scoring. Before Azharuddin was removed lbw by Eddie Hemmings, India were at 5/204, needing 50 runs from the last 10 overs, with 5 wickets in hand, and it looked like it would be a very close game. However, the middle and tailend order for India collapsed, as India lost 5/15. India were eventually bowled all out for 219 (all out, 45.3 overs), giving England both a berth in the final and a measure of revenge for the loss they suffered to India in the semi-final of the World Cup four years earlier in England. 5 November 1987 ENG 254/6 (50 overs) 219 (45.3 overs) IND England won by 35 runs Scorecard Wankhede Stadium, Bombay, India Final 1987 Cricket World Cup Final Australia won the toss and chose to bat. David Boon (75 from 125 balls, 7 fours) top-scored for Australia, whose batsmen scored fluently. Australia posted 253 (5 wickets, 50 overs). Mike Veletta (45 from 31 balls, 6 fours) cut loose late in the innings, as Australia scored 65 runs from the last six overs of their innings. In the English reply, opener Tim Robinson was out LBW for a first ball duck. Bill Athey (58 from 103 balls, 2 fours) top-scored, and England were almost on target, when captain Mike Gatting (41 from 45 balls, 3 fours, 1 six) handed back the initiative with the loss of his wicket, going for a reverse sweep which ended a growing partnership of 69 runs in 13 overs between him and Athey. Allan Lamb (45 from 55 balls, 4 fours) also posted a great innings, but it was in vain as the required run-rate for England began to rise. When England failed to score the last 17 runs from the final over, the cup went to Australia. #eee 8 November 1987 AUS 253/5 (50 overs) 246/8 (50 overs) ENG Australia won by 7 runs Scorecard Eden Gardens, Calcutta, India Statistics 1987 Cricket World Cup statistics +Leading run scorersMost runs https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/batting/most_runs_career.html?id=617;type=tournament ESPNcricinfo 11 April 2022 Matches Player Team Runs 8 Graham Gooch ENG 471 8 David Boon AUS 447 8 Geoff Marsh 428 6 Viv Richards WIN 391 8 Mike Gatting ENG 354 +Leading wicket takersMost wickets https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?id=617;type=tournament ESPNcricinfo 11 April 2022 Matches Player Team Wickets 8 Craig McDermott AUS 18 7 Imran Khan PAK 17 6 Patrick Patterson WIN 14 7 Maninder Singh IND 14 6 Eddie Hemmings ENG 13 The first hat-trick in Cricket World Cup history was taken by Chetan Sharma of India during their final group match against New Zealand.
