This Cricket World Cup 1992 witnessed many innovations that were not seen till the previous tournament. Colored clothing with printed black names on the back of the jersey was introduced for the first time in the 1992 Cricket World Cup. It was a real change from the usual white jerseys, which were difficult to identify the players. Floodlights were used for most of the 36 games. The introduction of white ball, a change from the red one was also seen in this tournament. The fielding rules were refined allowing only two men outside the ring in the first 15 overs. It was also the first World cup to have day/night matches. It was also the last world cup tournament for Imran Khan, Graham Gooch, Border, Lamb and Desmond Haynes. For the first time, the teams were not divided into groups.

The Cricket World Cup 1992 set many records such as the Highest Individual Score, Highest run-scorer and Highest wicket-taker. Rameez Raja of Pakistan hit the highest individual score of 119 runs and MD Crowe of New Zealand scored the highest run by hitting 496 runs in the 9 matches. Wasim Akram of Pakistan set the record of highest wicket-taker by taking 18 wickets.

The final match between Pakistan and England saw the 22 run victory of Pakistan following the outstanding performance of Imran Khan, Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram and Mushtaq Ahmed.
