This was one of the greatest limited-overs finals of all time, international contests included, and it was sealed, fittingly enough, by Warwickshire's captain and man for the big occasion, Dermot Reeve, who had previously played integral roles for Sussex in the 1986 final and Warwickshire in 1989. This time it was his uncompromising acceleration at the end of what had seemed an impossible run-chase that sealed the deal, as Sussex's total of 321 for 6 -- the highest ever recorded in a one-day final -- was hunted down by five wickets from the very last ball of the game.
