Cricket World Cup History: 5 best encounters between India and Australia in the history of the World Cup

#3 1992 WC - A flurry of run-outs costs India the game by one run

Jones played a brilliant knock

Pre-tournament favorites and defending Champions Australia had a shocking start to the 1992 WC as they lost their first two games. India was coming off from a washout and another loss would have meant an early exit for both the teams.

Allan Border won the toss and chose to bat first. Dean Jones, who enjoyed a great record against India stood up tall for his team. His knock of 90 ensured that the hosts put up a reasonable score of 237 on the board. India began the chase slowly, putting up just 45 runs from 16 overs before rain interrupted play.

At the end of the rain break, the target was revised to 236 off 47 overs when play resumed. Mohammed Azharuddin essayed a captain's knock of 93 to keep the team in the chase until panic set in.

Azharuddhin was sent back in the 43rd over and was soon followed by Ajay Jadeja next over. Sankay Manjrekar's run-out in the 45th over piled more pressure on India but the asking run was still in control, with India needing 22 runs from five overs and three wickets in hand.

Kiran More and Javagal Srinath took the game till the last over and with 13 required off the final six deliveries, Kiran More smashed two boundaries to regain the momentum.

However, More was castled by Tom Moody on the third ball and two deliveries later, Manoj Prabhakar ran himself out with India needing just four runs from two balls. On the final delivery, Sunil Raju too was run-out as India fell short by a solitary run.
