This match still sends shivers down the spine of ardent cricket fans in both India and Pakistan. Miandad had smashed a six off the final ball of the match bowled by Chetan Sharma. The feat is remarkable as Pakistan needed four runs off the final ball to win the Austral-Asia Cup. The Austral-Asia Cup has been played thrice, with Pakistan winning the tournament on all three occasions.
