Chasing 174 in a rain-reduced 30-over match, Australia were struggling at 119 for 7 before Steve Waugh and Shane Warne produced a sensational recovery, taking their team to the brink of victory. With six runs needed off the final ball, Waugh struck the ball to long-on and attempted a desperate third run — but invading spectators stormed the field, preventing the run-out from being completed. After consultations between captains and officials, referee Raman Subba Row declared the match officially tied, a decision that sparked debate and remains controversial to this day. Earlier, Ridley Jacobs and Williams had lifted West Indies to 173, while Merv Dillon’s fiery spell rattled Australia’s top order. With Brian Lara absent due to injury, Jimmy Adams captained the West Indies in this extraordinary encounter. 📌 A rare blend of cricketing brilliance, chaos, and controversy — this match is remembered as one of the strangest tied ODIs ever played. #highlights #ausvswi #cricketmax #thriller #australia
