 India was grouped along with Australia, New Zealand and Zimbabwe. By this time, the matches were reduced to a 50 over format. India looked in great from throughout the league stages, winning 5 of the six matches - the only match they lost was by a margin of 1 run against Australia. Chasing 270, they were cruising at 2-207 but the batting just collapsed after the dismissal of Sidhu for 73.
Navjot Sidhu was India's star with the bat scoring consistently throughout. This was India's first match but the rest of the matches were not too difficult for India. India made it to the semi-finals easily and looked well on course to reclaim the title when England put an end to their hopes and those of millions of India's fans. England scored 254 batting first. But India's batting failed for once. The in-form Navjot Sidhu and Sunil Gavaskar fell early and despite a 64 from Mohammed Azharuddin, India fell well short by 35 runs.
