Round robin — 1992 Cricket World Cup
March 1, 1992 · The Gabba, Brisbane
Result: AUAustralia — Australia won by 1 run (revised target). AUAustralia 237/9 (50 overs), INIndia 234 all out (47 overs, revised target). March 1, 1992 · The Gabba, Brisbane.
Rain interrupted India's chase at 45/1; under the tournament's flawed "Most Productive Overs" rain rule, 3 overs were deducted from India's target but only 2 runs, recalculating it to 236 off 47 overs — an early illustration of the same rule that would later decide the South Africa-England semi-final. India needed 4 off the last ball; Javagal Srinath was run out attempting the winning runs after Steve Waugh initially shelled the catch, leaving Australia 1-run winners in one of the closest finishes in World Cup history.
