Miandad's Six To Jadeja Blitz: Six Great India-Pakistan ODIs

Cricketing powerhouses India and Pakistan renew their rivalry in the most hotly-anticipated match of the World Cup in Ahmedabad on Saturday. AFP Sport looks back at six memorable ODI matches between

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.

The chase was a world record at the time.

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.

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.

He uppercut one of Akhtar's express deliveries to a delightful six over third man - a shot that became iconic in Tendulkar's career.

Akhtar later got Tendulkar's wicket but the damage had been done and India won by six wickets.

Pakistan came in as underdogs in the Champions Trophy final, but stunned India by 180 runs with a top performance riding on a sparkling century by Fakhar Zaman.

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.

The left-hander clobbered the Indian attack, including fast bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah, hitting 12 fours and three sixes.

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