This is one of the best wins Pakistan collected against the mighty Australians in the era of none other than the man himself, the lion of Lahore Imran Khan. Imran was leading his team during this Australian tour and he made sure the hosts remember him for a long time.
In this ODI Pakistan batted first and when Australia came in for the chase the match went down to the wire and at the end it was 5 runs task with 6 balls left for Australia to finish it off. The major disadvantage for them was that Imran himself was bowling the last over.
As expected Imran in all those six balls didn’t look in any pressure and he moved the ball to an insane limit. The Australians had no answer to his vicious swing and seam movement.
They lost their two wickets and even still they lost the match with 2 runs. Craig was batting on 39 and he was the biggest loser at that moment when he was not able to finish off the game for Australia and adding more misery for himself, he gave away his wicket as well.
Imran bowled all his 6 balls in swingers with 6 different line and lengths and this was the key factor. The Australians failed to guess what he would bowl next. They only knew it will come back in but from which part of the pitch remained a mystery for all of them.
Imran picked up 2 wickets in that over and gave away only three runs and hence Pakistan won this thriller by only 2 runs.
It was one of the toughest battles fought on the grounds of Australia, Pakistan tour to Australia under the captaincy of the great Imran Khan, the lion of Lahore. Imran performed brilliant with his bat and ball on that tour.
One glimpse of his heroics is this last over in an ODI against the Australians in which they needed 5 runs of the last 6 balls of the match with 4 wickets in hand. Imran bowled that last over and he only gave away 3 runs and took 2 wickets thus leading his side to a memorable win.
The first ball Imran bowled was missed by the batsman outside the off stump. The second ball was pitched onto the body of the batsmen and after touching his pads the ball went down to the fine leg and the batsmen crossed for a single.
On the third ball Imran cleaned up the batsman with an unplayable in swinger and the ball went in between the bat and pad and disturbed the three stumps.
The fourth ball again went maiden as the new batsman had no idea about the movement of the ball. On the second last ball Imran cleaned up the batsman again on a vicious in swinger that hit the pads and deviated from there into the stumps.
After this all came down to the last ball of the match and Australia required 2 runs of the last ball. It was not that tough of a task but the bowler was Imran Khan so the pressure was there on the Australian batsmen.
The final ball was another in swinger and again the batsman haved his bat over the ball and missed it all together hence giving Pakistan a thrilling win.
