      <title>A recap on six great Pakistan - India ODIs</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30336864/a-recap-on-six-great-pakistan-india-odis</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Cricketing powerhouses India and Pakistan renewed their rivalry in the most hotly-anticipated match of the World Cup in Ahmedabad on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is the sport looks back at six memorable ODI matches between the bitter rivals ahead of their latest clash.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Miandad six (April 18, 1986 - Sharjah)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Javed Miandad’s last-ball six at the desert venue arguably remains the most dramatic ODI outcome between the two sides as Pakistan clinched a one-wicket victory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pakistan needed 246 to win in 50 overs and Miandad walked in at 61-3 to hit an unbeaten 116 off 114 balls.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With four needed off the final delivery, Indian fast bowler Chetan Sharma bowled a full toss and Miandad blasted the ball into the crowd to trigger wild celebrations among the Pakistan team and fans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Miandad was later presented with a golden sword for his heroics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Imran stings (March 22, 1985 - Sharjah)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imran Khan’s best bowling figures of 6-14 were in a one-day international against India but for the flamboyant Pakistan fast bowler it was all in vain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imran ripped through the Indian batting line-up at Sharjah to send the opposition packing for 125.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Pakistan’s own batting imploded, skittled for just 87 with Ramiz Raja, top-scorer with 29, one of only four batsmen in double figures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Imran, a former Prime Minister who now languishes in jail over corruption charges he denies, was still the man of the match in the low-scoring battle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jadeja fires (March 09, 1996 - Bangalore)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;India’s Ajay Jadeja blasted a 25-ball 45 in a late blitz that helped India knock out holders Pakistan in a highly-charged World Cup quarter-final.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jadeja was severe on Pakistan’s Waqar Younis as he hit the pace bowler for four fours and two sixes in the final few overs to propel the total to 287-8.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In reply, Pakistan was sailing along when opener Aamir Sohail smashed India’s Venkatesh Prasad for a boundary before sledding his opponent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Venkatesh got the left-handed batsman bowled on the next ball to bring the house down and Pakistan lost their way to lose by 39 runs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ganguly ton (January 18, 1998 - Dhaka)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sourav Ganguly hit a match-winning century to trump Saeed Anwar’s 140 in a deciding best-of-three final of Bangladesh’s Silver Jubilee Independence Cup in Dhaka.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ganguly’s knock of 124 was laced with 11 fours and one six as India chased down their victory target of 315 with one ball to spare.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The left-handed Ganguly was named man of the match but lesser-known Hrishikesh Kanitkar stole the show in the end when India needed three on the final two balls and he hit a boundary on the penultimate delivery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The chase was a world record at the time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tendulkar rules (March 1, 2003 - Centurion)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sachin Tendulkar won many matches for India but his 98 against Pakistan at the 2003 World Cup remains special due to his duel with fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tendulkar stood tall in his 75-ball knock that guided India in their chase of 274 against a Pakistan bowling line-up boasting Wasim Akram, Waqar, and Akhtar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He uppercut one of Akhtar’s express deliveries to a delightful six over third man - a shot that became iconic in Tendulkar’s career.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Akhtar later got Tendulkar’s wicket but the damage had been done and India won by six wickets.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Zaman special (June 18, 2017 - London)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pakistan came in as underdogs in the Champions Trophy final but stunned India by 180 runs with a top performance riding on a sparkling century by Fakhar Zaman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Zaman’s 114 off 106 balls and a 128-run opening stand with Azhar Ali guided Pakistan to a mammoth 338 for four and deflated Virat Kohli’s India at the Oval.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The left-hander clobbered the Indian attack, including fast bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah, hitting 12 fours and three sixes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pakistan’s bowlers then came firing and dismissed India for just 158 in 30.3 overs despite Hardik Pandya’s 76. Fast bowler Hasan Ali took 3-19.&lt;/p&gt;
