10. South Africa Need 22 Off One Ball - Australia, New Zealand 1992
A promising World Cup debut ended in farcical disappointment for South Africa after a rain delay scuppered their chances of a semi-final victory over England in Sydney. Requiring an arguably achievable 22 runs to win from 13 balls before the rain came, in the days before Duckworth-Lewis, the ICCs scoring system left South Africa requiring 22 runs to win from a solitary delivery. Chris Lewis apologetically bowled the final ball of the game which Brian McMillan clipped to midwicket for a single leaving the South Africans furious and both England and the ICC rightfully red-faced.
