Original Lankan team was born after this confident chase n then they became chase masters and won most matches while chasing including WC96.

This match is the turning poing of sri lanka cricket. This is where SL start to believe themselves and start attacking in power plays.

I can remember this match, that was a six, William clearly touching the rope in his last step.

Hashan tillakaratne how many times this mn survived sri Lanka specialy in tests i can recollected so many matches he batted some time 2 days to survival of srilanka but we didn't see any test match that he batted if im not mistaken he has taken 6 catches in one inning fileded in forward short leg..he has done lot to sri lankan cricket saluate for your contribution....

Damn we didn't had a TV to watch this game and I remember I listened to it in local radio. Good to see exactly what happened. Thanks for the upload.

If ever there was a rare gem of an upload, then this is it. I haven't watched it yet as I post the comment but I think Hashan Tillekaratne starts vomiting towards the end of the game, and gets caught at mid-wicket while trying to hoick one off a fast bowler. Let me watch the video to validate my memory!

I remember watching this with my grandpa. I was only 6 yrs old. I always used to support chasing team without much knowledge. I was very disappointed when tilekaratne was out. Nice memories from India 🇮🇳

Fielder who caught the catch, was touching the boundary line. Later he admitted! U remember watching this

I remember this game well. Lara scored 169 runs. But he was dropped by Kaluwitharana at the begining of his innings and was a costly miss. There was another instance where Sangakkara missed a simple stumping chance against Andrew Symmonds when Austrailia was struggling during 2003 world cup. He scored more than 90 rund and took the world cup away from Sri Lanka

Awesome game. I watched and prayed a lot for srilankan win for this match. They played like a team. What an end. Great game.

I think lara played a blinder. But in those days scoring 300 was a huge thing and 333 was definitely a huge score. Lanka put their guts out. It was incredible. Sign of things to come for them though.

Sri Lanka lost that match but won the hearts of cricket lovers thanks to some brilliant batting Hashan Tilkarante

I remember this match. Hashan tillekratne was literally throwing up while batting.

What an awesome upload this is...truly rarest rare....this is 90s gold in sharjah....awesome...thanks bro....again love u...😍😍😍😍

Lara scored 169 here, and could have well broken the then existed world record score of 189 for ODIs held by ViV Richards, but he was bowled by Kumar Darmasena with quite a few overs still to go. Chanderpaul provided them with a good finish too, hitting two consecutive sixes off the final 2 deliveries of their innings, hence they reached 333 quite comfortably. Sunil Gavaskar in the commentary panel mentioned at the end of WI innings that Sri Lanka simply had no chance, the most would have agreed that too. Still the Sri Lankan batsmen seemed to have had determined to go for it, 100 run mark was reached in 10 overs. Kaluwitharana had been promoted up the order from No. 07 to No. 04, may be for the first time in the national team, had made a quickfire 30+ innings, and set the tempo. Sri Lanka lost their way somewhat in the middle, still the partnership between Hashan Thillekerathne and Chandika Hathurusinghe (batted at no. 07 in this game) brought Sri Lanka back into the contention. Then that partnership was broken, then came Dharmasena who too contributed decently before being runout. So, in the end, Hashan Thilekarathne had been left with only the tailenders to provide the finish. He almost did it quite single-handedly scoring his second ODI hundred (his first one too had come against WI during the Hero cup held in India in '94), only to be caught at the boundary with only 4 runs to get. It had been a proper dismissal/catch, though there had been some confusion whether it had been a catch or a six due to the (limited) angle of television coverage. The West Indian attack for the series didn't include the fearsome duo of Ambrose and Walsh, Ian Bishop had returned to the side instead with several new comers like Ottis Gibson, Hamish Anthony, etc.. Though Sri Lanka lost the game by 4 runs, that chase still looked remarkable and provided the base for them to win the title by defeating the same team WI in the finals, which had been Sri Lanka's only second title win involving 3 or more teams and the first of such held outside of South Asia (the first being the victory of Asia Cup in mid 80s - '86/87). While this had been going on in Sharjah, a confrontation had been going on back in Sri Lanka near Colombo during day time on the same day, and certain schools had been closed somewhat earlier too (, so we reached our homes somewhat earlier to watch this game when WIs were batting with Lara going great guns...). A few LTTE cadres/terrorists had entered the Oil Refinery at Sapugaskanda, and there that been the confrontations/firing taken place between them and the Sri Lanka forces.... When we look back into our past, these had been the bittersweet memories we used to have as youngsters/teenagers here in Sri Lanka, these videos still send us back in that memory lane even after more than 25 years from those incidents....

The first cricket memory I could think of ❤

This was the match when Sri Lanka team believed that they can win anything and beat anyone

i remember this match..hashan was a alone fight....but hashan out was not accept..it was a six....then teqnic of camera is not good..so we was unfortunatly

I remember this match Back from school in 4th grade witness the thrilling final overs

Thank you for the upload

Phil Simmons had the world record of maximum maiden overs in one day match he did 8 maiden overs vs Pak at scg in 1992/93 & Pak were bowled on 71 in that game

upload the Sri Lanka vs West Indies 1992 wc match in which West Indian batsman PHIL SIMMONS scored 110 runs off 125 balls, thanks.

It was a fluke for WI. But SL realised their potential.

PLEASE UPLOAD THE FULL MATCH.

The last catch was a Six, not out. He caught it crossing the boundry line. Where is that part video ?

That is not out fielder touched the rope clearly unfortunately it called out.

Can you please upload Pak Vs West Indies from the same tournament in that Rameez Raja scored 104 and Moin Khan scored 27 on 10 balls including 3 consecutive sixes in the last of over of Ian Bishop that was the only game which Pak won in that tournament

I remember this Match. Oooo Williamson LOL Williamson he is lol man.he knows this is sixe . Not is clear catch . Sri lankan win the matched . Two Umpire is f😁😁k

Sri Lanka was most dangerous team.

No camera angle for the last catch was taken on the boundary.

I remember this match I was in class 6

From that match in 1995 to 2015 WC was SL golden era. Now the team is worst than 80s team..

For this match, if was Phil Simmons or Chandika Hathurusingha, I WOULD'VE SCORED 50 plus runs.

could have been the then record highest chase in ODIs, so near yet not. Can someone tell me if Hashan Tilakaratne vomited during his innings due to heat and dehydration? I heard he completed his innings with an upset stomach through the middle of his innings.

Why no Ambrose and Walsh?

I stiil remember this match it was 1995 I think

I think his foot touched the rope
