South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has highlighted Pakistan great Wasim Akram’s match-winning spell in the 1992 World Cup final as one of his most memorable moments in the tournament’s history.
Rabada recalled Akram’s performance against England in the final, where the Pakistan fast bowler played a decisive role in helping his team secure its first World Cup title.
Rabada Praises Akram’s Pace and Skill
The South African pacer particularly praised Akram’s pace, skill and commanding presence on the field.
Rabada said Akram’s approach to bowling conveyed a clear sense of intent and dominance whenever he came on to bowl. His ability to influence the game at a crucial stage of the final made the performance especially memorable.
Akram claimed three wickets in the 1992 World Cup final, including the key dismissals of Allan Lamb and Chris Lewis in successive deliveries, as Pakistan defended its total at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
For Rabada, the performance represented not only exceptional bowling skill but also the passion and intensity Akram displayed while playing for Pakistan.
