When less is more- The greatest low-scoring ODI matches on the big stage

#1 Australia vs South Africa, 2nd S/F ICC Cricket World Cup, Edgbaston 1999

Warne's spell played a huge part in this famous win for the Aussies

And powering its way to the No.1 spot in this coveted list is the famous semi-final of the 1999 World Cup between Australia and South Africa.

Australia batted first and on a tricky posted a competitive 9-213 in 50 overs. South Africa was on course in their run chase and at 1-51, one big partnership would've booked their place in the finals alongside Pakistan. But they had to defy one man in their pursuit - the mercurial Shane Warne.

Warne immediately made his presence felt in the game as he knocked out Gibbs and Cronje after Cullinan had been brilliantly run out by Bevan.

South Africa stayed afloat thanks to a 114-run partnership. Eventually, the equation was down to nine runs off six balls with the 'Player of the Tournament' Lance Klusener on strike.

Klusener smashed the first two balls off Damien Fleming to the deep extra-cover boundary. The Proteas needed a solitary run with four balls still to be bowled, to knock Australia out of the World Cup. However, the pressure got to Klusener and Donald.

The miscommunication between the pair reached its nadir when Klusener pushed the ball down to the ground and started running when Donald was caught ball-watching.

The fatal error meant both batsmen were stranded and in a comical yet tragic turn of events, the match ended in a tie, meaning Australia would qualify for the finals on behest of a superior run-rate than the Proteas.

Australia (213, Michael Bevan 65, Alan Donald 35-4) tied with South Africa (213, Jacques Kallis 53, Shane Warne 29-4)
