The numero uno spot is occupied by a riveting match between India and Pakistan held in Dhaka in 2014. A young Indian side led by Virat Kohli was inserted into bat by Pakistan. Fifties from Rohit Sharma, Ambati Rayudu and Ravindra Jadeja helped India post a target of 246 runs for their arch-rivals.

From Pakistani side, Saeed Ajmal was the star of the show as he picked up 3 wickets for just 40 runs. In reply, Pakistan’s charge was led by their top order with Mohammad Hafeez top scoring with 75 runs. With 11 runs required off the last 10 balls, and four wickets still in hand, Pakistan appeared to be cruising home.

However, three wickets fell in quick succession. 10 runs were needed off the final over. Shahid Afridi smashed one over extra cover to raise Pakistani hopes. With only three needed off three, Afridi tried to lift Ashwin out of the park again.

This time he went over long-on, and though he seemed to have miscued it, it too sailed over the rope, clinching a tense win for Pakistan.
