When India met Pakistan at Sydney in World Cup 1993, both teams were at the brink of elimination. India batted first and was helped by contributions from Ajay Jadeja (46), Sachin Tendulkar (54) and Kapil Dev 35), and reached 217 for 7.

India tasted immediate success when the opening bowlers Kapil Dev and Manoj Prabhakar struck with a wicket apiece. However, Pakistan had Aamer Sohail and the veteran Javed Miandad to see them through to 100 for 2. That was when the man with the Golden arm, Sachin Tendulkar induced an uppish drive from Sohail which was pocketed by Srikkanth.

Prabhakar in his comeback spell knocked out the dangerous Salim Malik and Imran Khan was run out without scoring. Now Pakistan’s hope rested on the shoulders of Javed Miandad. He was not his usual self on that day as he struggled to reach 40 off 110 balls before he was yorked by Srinath. India in the end won by 43 runs.
