In the fourth One-Day International at Ahmedabad, Pakistan provided the fifth instance of a side winning a match against India off the last possible ball of the match while batting second.

Interestingly three times out of five such instances Pakistan have inflicted the defeat including that famous last ball six by Javed Miandad in the Australasian Cup final in 1985-86.
