Stuart Williams lifted the WI total with a brisk run-a-ball 53. Merv Dillon bowled superbly, reducing Australia to 119/7. Steve Waugh (67) and Shane Warne (28)** fought back with a gritty partnership. In the final over, Australia needed 6 to win. Steve Waugh struck a ball for two runs, but before he and Warne could attempt a third, fans stormed the field, preventing a result. After consultation, match referee Raman Subba Row declared the game a TIE. 🏅 Awards: Man of the Match (joint): Merv Dillon (WI) & Steve Waugh (AUS) 👉 Relive the Georgetown 1999 chaos, where cricketing drama turned into unforgettable history. #cricketmax #highlights #ausvswi #tie
