1987 Cricket World Cup

1987 Cricket World Cup:The 1987 Cricket World Cup (otherwise called the Reliance World Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the fourth version of the ICC Cricket World Cup competition. It was held from 8 October to 8 November 1987 in India and Pakistan – the primary such competition to be held outside England. The one-day configuration was unaltered from the eight-group 1983 occasion with the exception of a diminishment in the quantity of overs a group played from 60 to 50, the present standard for all ODIs being played outside England.

The two host countries, India and Pakistan neglected to achieve the last, after both being disposed of in the semi-finals. The West Indies neglected to satisfy desires and did not progress from the gathering stage.


Design 
The configuration of the opposition was two gatherings of four groups every group playing each other twice in fifty-over matches. The main two groups from every gathering would progress to the semi-finals where the two champs would then progress to the last. All matches were played amid daytime and – for a last time in the occasion's history – saw the groups show up in conventional white apparel and utilize customary red balls.

The accompanying eight groups took part in the last competition:
