The first ODI World Cup to be held in the Southern Hemisphere, it also witnessed a complete Round Robin replacing the two qualifying groups that were present earlier. The participants included Australia, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies, and Zimbabwe. Pakistan, the team that had initially won just one of its first five matches in the World Cup, turned the game later on and went ahead to win the final and claim the trophy, defeating England by 22 runs. In this tournament, for the first time, 'Man of the Series' was awarded and it went to Martin Crowe from New Zealand.
