Also, it would be remembered for the one sided Cricket World Cup 1999 final. Cricket World Cup 1999 final also marks the starting of a decade long Aussie rule in the world of Cricket.
This and other such interesting and unknown facts would be unveiled in this section of ICC Cricket World Cup 1999. ICC Cricket World Cup 1999 also marks the rising of a new star – South African Lance Klusener. Lance Klusener was the real star of the tournament and won many games for South Africa, almost single handedly. Some people thought that Klusener also became villain and should be held responsible for South Africa’s exit after playing a Tie game, i.e., Cricket World Cup 1999 semi final.
Cricket World Cup 1999 semi final: Cricket World Cup 1999 semi final was the most exciting semi final, one could ever see in a World Cup.

Australia batted first and scored 213. They limited South Africa to 205-9 in 49 overs. South Africa needed 9 runs off the last over to win Cricket World Cup 1999 semi final and enter Cricket World Cup 1999 final. Lance Klusener was on the strike along with Allan Donald at the non striker end. The last over was to be bowled by Damien Fleming. Klusener hit two brutal cover drives on the first two balls of the over to level the scores. South Africa then needed only 1 run off 4 balls. The third ball was a dot one and Allan Donald ran unusually on the fourth ball to run himself out. South Africa was not able to enter the Cricket World Cup 1999 final, as the match tied and Australia entered the Cricket World Cup 1999 final.
