THE STORY
In the 1999 Cricket World Cup semi-final on June 17 at Edgbaston, Birmingham, South Africa faced Australia. With the scores tied and one wicket remaining, Lance Klusener hit two consecutive fours, leveling the scores. On the final ball, a miscommunication between Klusener and last man Allan Donald led to Donald being run out, resulting in a tie. Australia advanced to the final based on a superior net run rate in the Super Six stage. (icc-cricket.com)
