Top 10 greatest ODI cricket matches of all time

#5. Australia vs West Indies - 5th Match, B & H World Series at Sydney (1 Jan 1996)

Bevan hit a four off the last ball to win the game

Michael Bevan is considered one of the best if not the best finisher in ODI cricket and arguably his greatest ever performance was against the West Indies in the fifth match of the Benson and Hedges World Series.

After winning the toss, West Indies chose to bat and scored only 173 runs from 43 overs in a rain-curtailed game. While most batsmen struggled to score, Carl Hooper scored an unbeaten 93 off only 96 balls for the visitors.

Australia's chase went horribly wrong and they were down to 6/38 at one stage. Bevan with some support from Ian Healy and Paul Reiffel got the chase back on track. In the final over, with two wickets remaining, Australia needed seven runs and Shane Warne was on strike.

A dot ball, a wide, a run-out, two singles and another dot ball reduced the equation to four runs needed off the final ball with Bevan on strike. In the final ball, he hit Roger Harper for a four down the ground to take his personal score to 78 off only 88 balls and seal a memorable win.
