#7 Shane Warne - 4/33 versus Pakistan - 1999 World Cup Final
Australia were locking horns against Pakistan and it was evident that this time around the World Cup will have a repeat winner after West Indies. Bowling was Pakistan's strength and their strategy was to defend a score. Wasim Akram had no hesitation in batting first after winning the toss.

Saeed Anwar was the danger man for Australia. Glenn McGrath and Damien Fleming started off really well, dismissing both Anwar and Wasti in quick succession.
After a sedate partnership of 45 runs between Abdul Razzaq and Ijaz Ahmed, Warne was introduced into the attack. He set the cat amongst the pigeons by dismissing Ijaz Ahmed, Moin Khan, Shahid Afridi and Wasim Akram. Pakistan lost all the momentum and folded up for a below par 132.
Even Pakistan's talented fast bowling attack could not stop Australia in completing the chase in a mere 20 overs with 8 wickets to spare. Shane Warne's match-winning spell earned him his first MoM in a World Cup final.
