The 1999 ICC Cricket World Cup, the seventh edition of the tournament, was hosted primarily by England, with some games being hosted in Ireland, Wales, Scotland and the Netherlands. The World Cup was won by Australia, who beat Pakistan by 8 wickets at Lord's Cricket Ground in London. New Zealand and South Africa were the other semifinalists.

The 12 contesting teams were divided into 2 groups; each team played all the others in their group during the league stage. The top three from each group advanced to the Super Sixes, a new concept for the 1999 World Cup, where each qualifier from group A played each qualifier from group B. The teams also carried forward their points from the games against the other qualifiers from their group. The top four in the Super Sixes contested the semifinals.

5.70 min. | 4.6 user rating		 This was Saqlain's second ODI hattrick. This was a regular match in the 1999 world cup, and these were the last 3 wickets. Saqlain was one of the deadliest bowlers in ODI history if not the deadliest. His record of 289 (approx) wickets at an average of 19.8 is a proof. He was on his was to greatness when injury cut short his career. Still remains one my favorite cricketers .
