The Moments Series: A last ball 6 and an 87 allout

AOFNL The Moments Series

Episode 2: The Sharjah Chronicles - a last ball 6 and an 87 allout

A match that was lost was turned around by a master-class culminating in a last ball 6. And then another match that was for all practical purposes lost turned around by a magical spell in the field - both bowling and fielding.

In this episode we touch upon two games -

The final of the first Austral-Asia cup that ended with Miandad hoisting a Chetan Sharma full toss to snatch a very famous last ball win. A game that set the tone for years to come for games between India and Pakistan especially in Sharjah.

And the first game of the 1985 Rothman's cup when the newly crowned WCC champions were rolled for a measly 125 and then fought back to bowl Pakistan out for 87 through a collecting bowling and fielding effort.
