South Africa were cruising at 22 runs needed off 13 balls against England in the 1992 World Cup semi-final when rain halted play for 12 minutes.
After the delay, match officials shockingly revised the target to 22 runs off just one ball, stunning players and fans alike.
While the number of balls was drastically cut, the required runs remained unchanged, raising serious questions about the fairness of the decision.
The opposing captain and team officials reportedly protested to the umpires, but the decision stood.
Unable to score 22 runs off a single delivery, South Africa lost the match and were eliminated from the World Cup.
The incident remains one of the most controversial and unluckiest moments in cricket, often cited as a turning point in rain-rule reforms.
