11 Man of the Match performances in 11 World Cup Finals

#5 Wasim Akram - 33 and 3/49 versus England - 1992 World Cup Final

The 1992 World Cup was played in colour clothing and also became the first World Cup to host day-night matches. Pakistan and England had surged into the final in contrasting fashions. Imran Khan won the toss and had no hesitation in batting first on a beautiful MCG wicket.

Derek Pringle made early inroads for England by removing openers Aamir Sohail and Ramiz Raja. Imran walked in to bat at No. 3 and was well supported by his long time teammate Javed Miandad. The pair added 139 runs for the third wicket. Inzamam-Ul-Haq (42) and Wasim Akram's (33) death over slogging helped Pakistan reach a formidable 249.

In reply, England lost Sir Ian Botham for a duck. Alec Stewart and Graeme Hick followed suit with England struggling at 69 for 4. Allan Lamb and Neil Fairbrother were trying to bring the innings back on track.

Wasim Akram, who had removed Botham earlier, was the dangerman for Englishmen. The ball was old and had started to reverse swing. He bowled magical deliveries to both Lamb and Chris Lewis, dismissing them in successive deliveries with the score reading 141 for 6. This derailed England's chase and all they could manage was 227 with Fairbrother scoring 62.

Imran Khan top-scored for Pakistan with 72 and picked up the last England wicket and had a fairytale ending to his career. But it was Wasim Akram's magic that England couldn't handle.

Akram was the MoM of his all-round efforts.
