It was the second edition of the knockout cup and India and New Zealand were locking horns in the final. India posted 264/6 batting first in the all-important game courtesy of a century by captain Sourav Ganguly. In reply, New Zealand were 132/5 in 23.2 overs as India smelled their second major title victory. However, Chris Cairns had other ideas as he was involved in a marvellous partnership of 122 for the sixth wicket along with Chris Harris which left them just 11 runs away from a win in 9 balls.
Cairns held his nerve and took his team over the line with two balls to spare. He remained unbeaten on 102 off 113 balls with the help of 8 fours and two sixes as New Zealand got their hands on their first-ever major trophy.
