The 1996 Cricket World Cup was won by Sri Lanka who beat Australia by 7 wickets at the final in Lahore.
The 1996 World Cup was played in India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Controversy dogged the tournament before any games were played, however, when Australia and the West Indies refused to send their teams to Sri Lanka following the Central Bank Bombing by the Tamil Tigers in January that killed 90 people and injured thousands. The International Cricket Council ruled that Sri Lanka would be awarded both games on forfeit.
Three teams made their World Cup debuts in 1996: the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands and Kenya. The Netherlands lost each of their five matches while the U.A.E. only beat the Dutch. Kenya, however, recorded a surprise victory over the West Indies in Pune.
