On November 3, 1997, South Africa showcased their chasing prowess against the West Indies in the Wills Quadrangular Tournament at Lahore. Set a daunting target of 294, South Africa triumphed by five wickets with nine balls to spare, thanks to a stellar performance from Hansie Cronje and Jonty Rhodes. Gary Kirsten's steady 64 set the platform before Cronje's blazing 94 (off 94 balls) and Rhodes' rapid 53 (off 39 balls) finished the job in style. The West Indies' efforts were led by Carl Hooper’s brilliant century (101 balls) and Brian Lara’s fluent 50, which took him past 5,000 ODI runs. However, 24 extras (11 wides and 13 no-balls) cost the West Indies dearly.
