Tournament – India-Pakistan Rubber, 1st Test
Venue: Chennai, India
Indo-Pak cricket matches are always full of verve and this match was nothing less than that. In a truly adrenaline pumping contest, both teams played their skins out to win and India was left with a heart break in the end. Chasing 258 in the fourth day of the match, Sachin Tendulkar and Nayan Mongia steadied Indian chase after some early jolts. Once Sachin was dismissed, Pakistani bowlers went for the kill. Wasim Akram and Saqlain Mushtaq picked up back to back wickets and India ultimately fell short of 12 runs, allowing Pakistan to romp home.
