how did the d/l method ruin the southafrica england match of 1992 world cup in pakistan??

Question

abrupt revision in scores

Answer 1

First of all.. 1992 World Cup was in Australia and New Zealand, not in Pakistan... and there was no D/L method at that time( It was invented in 1998)..The targets were just revised depending upon the time lost.

South Africa lost their semi-final to England in controversial circumstances when, after a rain delay, the 'highest-scoring overs' rule in use for revising target scores in rain-affected matches revised their target from 22 runs from 13 balls to 21 runs from 1 ball. This rule was replaced for one-day international matches in Australia after the World Cup by a complicated rule in which the score calculated by the highest-scoring overs was reduced by 0.5% for each over lost. This rule was eventually superseded by the Duckworth-Lewis method for the 1999 World Cup.

Answer 2

1992 World Cup matches were played in New Zeland and Australia. The 2nd semi final was played between England and South Africa at Sydney Cricket Ground on 22.03.1992. D/L
Method was not in force at that time.
