5 greatest instances of fielding in the history of the World Cup

Jonty Rhodes, South Africa vs Pakistan (1992)

There's a reason - or a couple of hundred - that South African cricketing icon Jonty Rhodes is considered the greatest fielder of all time. If a catch went in Rhodes' direction, the batsman was well on his way to the pavilion - and if you were short of your ground with Jonty Rhodes around, you were a goner.

That was definitely the case with Inzamam-ul-Haq at the 1992 Cricket World Cup, hosted by Australia and New Zealand.

Both Pakistan and South Africa had disastrous starts to the World Cup that year, although Pakistan's ended on a very favourable note - they won the trophy. Both teams won their first matches and quickly tumbled in the next two, so it was a strong but struggling team against another one.

Rain dealt Pakistan a heavy blow as it almost doubled the asking rate for an Imran-Khan led Pakistan. Khan and Inzamam held on at the wicket and put up a strong partnership, but it is safe to say Inzamam is not one of the best between the wickets.

Inzamam missed a heave, and his teammate Imran Khan only just got out of his crease and stopped - with Inzamam still well short of his own as he tried to scramble for a return. Jonty Rhodes, at deep backward point, took the ball and rocketed towards the stumps. In a question of who is faster, the answer is a no-brainer, and Rhodes, ball in hand, jumped and threw himself at the stumps instead.

South Africa eventually took a 20-run win.
