South Africa won the inaugural edition of the Champions Trophy in 1998

South Africa won the first-ever edition of the ICC Champions Trophy held in Bangladesh in 1998. Incidentally, this remains the Proteas' only triumph in an ICC event in any format.

In a tense final, South Africa beat the West Indies by four wickets at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka. Fielding first in the summit clash, the Proteas held the Windies to 245 despite Philo Wallace's 103 as Jacques Kallis starred with 5-30. Hansie Cronje then led from the front with an unbeaten 61 off 77 balls as South Africa chased down the target in 47 overs.
