[1] In the second semi-final England defeated India by 35 runs at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on 5 November 1987.
Australia were looking to reach 300 with strong batting before Imran Khan took 3 wickets for 17 runs in 5 overs.
David Boon (75 from 125 balls, 7 fours) top-scored for Australia, whose batsmen scored fluently.
In the English reply, opener Tim Robinson fell leg before wicket for a first ball duck.
Bill Athey (58 from 103 balls, 2 fours) top-scored, and England were almost on target, when captain Mike Gatting (41 from 45 balls, 3 fours, 1 six) handed back the initiative with the loss of his wicket, going for a reverse sweep which ended a growing partnership of 69 runs in 13 overs between him and Athey.
Allan Lamb (45 from 55 balls, 4 fours) also posted a great innings, but it was in vain as the required run-rate for England began to rise.
