The second semi-final of the 1999 ICC Cricket World Cup was a famous cricket match played between South Africa and Australia on 17 June 1999 at Edgbaston, England. Australia went on to beat Pakistan in the final on 20 June. The match is most remembered for the disastrous run out involving Allan Donald and Lance Klusener which ended the game. ==Background==
The two teams in a Super six match which would prove instrumental and would eventually prove to be the deciding factor in determining which team would qualify for the final. South Africa batted first and put up a competitive total with Herschelle Gibbs scoring 101. Australia began shakily losing wickets at regular intervals. The turning point of the match occurred when captain Steve Waugh was dropped by Gibbs at short mid-wicket when Gibbs attempted to throw the ball up into the air in celebration, only for the ball to slip through his fingers. After the dropped chance Waugh was reported to have famously said to Gibbs "You've just dropped the world cup". However, in a later interview Waugh denied saying this but the quote has lived on in cricketing folklore. 〔(You've just dropped the world cup ). ''ESPNCricinfo.com''. Retrieved on 21-01-2012〕 Waugh went on to score an unbeaten 120 and guided Australia home by 5 wickets. Had Australia not won the game they would have been knocked out of the World Cup. As it happened, the victory allowed them to finish in second place and qualify to play South Africa.
