India vs Afghanistan, Asia Cup 2018: 8 ODIs with the closest finishes played in the UAE 

#6 Singer Champions Trophy, 1996 - New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Sharjah- Match Tied

Danny Morrison was simply unplayable even as Sri Lanka were chasing a low score.

Choosing to bat first against Sri Lanka, New Zealand struggled against the two de Silva's - left-arm seamer Sajeewa and legendary off-spinning all-rounder Aravinda. Even useful contributions from Nathan Astle and Mark Greatbatch could not help the Kiwis get to a respectable score, managing 169 for 8 in their 50 overs.

Even with Sri Lanka losing their first three wickets for 39, Jayasuriya continued to attack, getting to his fifty in quick time. A sharp run out from Nathan Astle triggered yet another mini-collapse with Sri Lanka reeling at 98 for 6.

Upul Chandana stuck around with captain Arjuna Ranatunga, and the team needed only 30 runs with four wickets remaining. Astle got the crucial wicket of Upul Chandana.

Danny Morrison, who took the first two wickets in the innings, came back and got the prized wicket of Arjuna Ranatunga, with Sri Lanka now needing eleven to win with two wickets left. Chaminda Vaas ensured the scores were level, while Sajeewa ensured Sri Lanka still had two wickets in hand.

Needing one run from three overs with two wickets left, Sri Lanka were in the driver's seat. Chaminda Vaas was at the non-striker's end and Morrison took full advantage. With the field inside, Morrison attacked Sajeewa, who was trying to play out the over.

On the third ball of the over, which was just outside off stump, left-hander Sajeewa tried to leave one off right-arm Morrison bowling from over the wicket. He played on, and Murali was in next.

Murali comfortably played the next two balls, and New Zealand knew that the last ball of the over was also their last chance to avoid a defeat. New Zealand captain Lee Germon got the field right and bravely kept Stephen Fleming at slip.

Morrison bowled the correct line, and Murali edged it straight to Fleming. This was Sharjah's (and UAE's) first ever tied match, and Morrison finished with figures of 5 for 34.
