What is it about rain, semifinals, Sydney and South African cricket teams? In Sydney 28 years ago, in their first tournament since readmission, the South African men’s cricket team were cruelly denied a place in the World Cup 50 overs final after rain forced a revised target against England. Needing 22 runs off 13 balls, it was then reduced to 22 off seven and then 21 off one.
