You all missed the most important similarity. In both the world cups of 1992 and 2009 we beat the inform teams, sides that were unbeaten in the competition - undefeated before they met us!!

The 1992 World Cup consisted of a league format with 9 participants - 8 Test Playing Nations (Australia, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, England, South Africa and West Indies) + Zimbabwe

NZ were the surprise top team of the tournament who had beaten each of the other 6 test playing nations + Zimbabwe before they met us in their last pool game. We beat them quite comfortably and then again in the semis

In ICCWorld Twenty20 we again beat two undefeated inform teams - South Africa and SriLanka - in succession and the rest as they say is history
