Pakistan won the World Cup on March 25, 1992, at Melbourne under the leadership of Imran Khan against England. Pakistan batted first and posted 249/6 courtesy of half-centuries from the skipper Imran Khan (72) and Javed Miandad (58).

Cameos in the death overs by Inzamam-ul-Haq (42) and Wasim Akram (33) also helped Pakistan gain momentum. England was bowled out for 227, and Pakistan won the world cup by 22 runs.

Wasim Akram and Mushtaq Ahmed grabbed three wickets each for Pakistan, and Akram was also declared player of the match for his all-round performance.

On the completion of 30 years of the historic day, current players of the Pakistan team shared their memories and sentiment of the unforgettable day.

"I was seven years old at that time. Many players became heroes after winning the 92 world cup. It was an inspiring moment for any youngster, especially the way we won the semi-final Inzamam-ul-Haq became my favorite player from that day." Azhar Ali 

"I used to wake up early to watch the match before going to school. All of us remember the 92 world cup and still talk about it. It gives us great motivation. Sharing dressing rooms with our childhood heroes and meeting them is a proud moment for me. It was a great victory for the entire country." Fawad Alam.

"The 92 World Cup had many of our legends like Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Javed Miandad, and Inzamam-ul-Haq. They are all national heroes, and the way they won the world cup for us is our country's pride." Iftikhar Ahmed.

"Winning the 92 World Cup inspired the whole generation to play cricket, and it was the best moment for Pakistan." Nauman Ali.

The other current players of the Pakistan team who were not even born at the time of the 92 World Cup posed with the trophy. The players included Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Hasan Ali.
