The moment when Inzamam’s brave innings steered Pakistan to the 1992 WC finalInzamam-ul-Haq's scintillating 60 off 37 helped Pakistan oust New Zealand in the 1992 World Cup semi-final.Chasing 263, Pakistan were in trouble losing four wickets for 140 runs as top-order batsmen like Rameez Raja (44), Aamer Sohail (14), skipper Imran Khan (44) and Saleem Malik (01) went back to the pavillion. Struggling Javed Miandad was then joined by young Inzamam-ul-Haq and both steadily increased the run-rate. Very soon, Inzi was set to bat aggressively and played a winning knock which steered Pakistan to a four-wicket victory with one over remaining. Now Pakistan reached the final for the first time in the World Cup history. The ICC.cricket.com has launched a poll inviting people to vote for the greatest moment in World Cup matches.
