Cricketing powerhouses India and Pakistan renew their storied if rare rivalry in the most hotly-anticipated match of the 2025 Champions Trophy in Dubai on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

AFP Sport looks back at six memorable ODI matches between the bitter rivals ahead of their latest clash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n


\r\n- Miandad six (April 18, 1986 - Sharjah) -<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Javed Miandad's last-ball six at the desert venue arguably remains the most dramatic ODI outcome between the two sides as Pakistan clinched a one-wicket victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Pakistan needed 246 to win in 50 overs and Miandad walked in at 61-3 to hit an unbeaten 116 off 114 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With four needed off the final delivery, Indian fast bowler Chetan Sharma bowled a full toss and Miandad blasted the ball into the crowd to trigger wild celebrations among the Pakistan team and fans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Miandad was later presented with a golden sword for his heroics.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

- Imran stings (March 22, 1985 - Sharjah) -<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Imran Khan's best bowling figures of 6-14 were in a one-day international against India but for the flamboyant Pakistan fast bowler it was all in vain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Imran ripped through the Indian batting line-up at Sharjah to send the opposition packing for 125.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But Pakistan's own batting imploded, skittled for just 87 with Ramiz Raja, top-scorer with 29, one of only four batsmen in double figures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

- Jadeja fires (March 09, 1996 - Bangalore) -<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

India's Ajay Jadeja blasted a 25-ball 45 in a late blitz that helped India knock out holders Pakistan in a highly-charged World Cup quarter-final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Jadeja was severe on Pakistan's Waqar Younis as he hit the pace bowler for four fours and two sixes in the final few overs to propel the total to 287-8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In reply, Pakistan were sailing along when opener Aamir Sohail smashed India's Venkatesh Prasad for a boundary before sledging his opponent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But Venkatesh got the left-handed batsman bowled on the next ball to bring the house down and Pakistan lost their way to lose by 39 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

- Ganguly ton (January 18, 1998 - Dhaka) -<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sourav Ganguly hit a match-winning century to trump Saeed Anwar's 140 in a deciding best-of-three final of Bangladesh's Silver Jubilee Independence Cup in Dhaka.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Ganguly's knock of 124 was laced with 11 fours and one six as India chased down their victory target of 315 with one ball to spare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The left-handed Ganguly was named man of the match but lesser-known Hrishikesh Kanitkar stole the show in the end when India needed three on the final two balls and he hit a boundary on the penultimate delivery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The chase was a world record at the time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

- Tendulkar rules (March 1, 2003 - Centurion) -<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sachin Tendulkar won many matches for India but his 98 against Pakistan at the 2003 World Cup remains special due his duel with fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Tendulkar stood tall in his 75-ball knock that guided India in their chase of 274 against a Pakistan bowling line-up boasting Wasim Akram, Waqar and Akhtar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He uppercut one of Akhtar's express deliveries to a delightful six over third man - a shot that became iconic in Tendulkar's career.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Akhtar later got Tendulkar's wicket but the damage had been done and India won by six wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

- Zaman special (June 18, 2017 - London) -<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Pakistan came in as underdogs in the Champions Trophy final, but stunned India by 180 runs, riding on a sparkling century by Fakhar Zaman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Zaman's 114 off 106 balls and a 128-run opening stand with Azhar Ali guided Pakistan to a mammoth 338 for four and deflated Virat Kohli's India at The Oval.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The left-hander clobbered the Indian attack, including fast bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah, hitting 12 fours and three sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Pakistan's bowlers then came out firing and dismissed India for just 158 in 30.3 overs despite Hardik Pandya's 76. Fast bowler Hasan Ali took 3-19.
