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

#1 Bilateral ODI Series, 2014 - Pakistan vs Australia at Abu Dhabi - Australia won by one run

Pakistan v Australia - ODI International

After winning their first bilateral ODI series in the UAE, Australia were aiming to whitewash Pakistan with yet another victory in the third and final match of the series.

In a seesaw-like ride, Australia scored 231 for 9 in their 50 overs while batting first. Steve Smith scored 77 and David Warner scored 56, but the game-changer was a 42-ball 33 from number eight James Faulkner. Sohail Tanvir and Shahid Afridi took five wickets between them.

Two wickets apiece from Kane Richardson, James Faulkner and Xavier Doherty kept Pakistan tied down. All their batsmen got starts, but regular wickets did not allow Pakistan to settle down.

With 23 runs required at run a ball, and with two wickets in hand, the pair of Sohail Tanvir and Zulfiqar Babar did remarkably well to get within two runs of the target and one over to spare.

With all their main bowlers having finished their respective overs, wicketless Glen Maxwell was called to bowl the last over. While Sohail Tanvir played out the first delivery, he tried to slog the second and was beaten all ends up by a straight delivery by Maxwell.

Last man Mohammad Irfan defended the next three balls, with Pakistan needing two off the last. He also slogged the last ball of the match, throwing his bat while aiming for the mid-wicket boundary, but providing a simple catch to James Faulkner at short cover.

The over turned out to be a double wicket-maiden and Glen Maxwell won the man-of-the-match award.
