Most memorable India – Pakistan matches of all time
4) 1996 Wills World Cup; India won by 39 runs
The difference in the final scores would suggest that this was a relatively easy victory for India. But that could not further from the truth. This was the biggest match of the tournament, as it pitted arch rivals India and Pakistan against each other in a World Cup quarterfinal. Pakistan were the defending champions while India were the hosts, as the jam packed Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore witnessed some incredible action.
Wasim Akram could not play due to injury, which meant Aamir Sohail led the side. India batted first and set a huge target of 289 for Pakistan. The innings will be remembered for Ajay Jadeja’s brutal assault on Waqar Younis in the last few overs.
Pakistan began their run chase in fine style. But then Aamir Sohail got caught up in the moment and started a verbal between himself and Venkatesh Prasad. Prasad bowled Sohail of the very next ball, and Pakistan never recovered after that.
