Well, the answer takes us back to 4 September 2022, during the Super Four stage of the Men’s T20 Asia Cup in Dubai. On that night, Pakistan scripted a thrilling chase to beat India by five wickets with just one ball to spare.
India batted first and posted a competitive total of 181/7, with openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul giving an explosive start through a 50-run opening partnership.

In response, Pakistan chased down the 182-run target with just one ball to spare, thanks to solid knocks from Mohammad Rizwan, who anchored the innings with 71 runs, and a surprise counter-attack by Mohammad Nawaz, who smashed 42 off just 20 balls after being promoted up the order.
Despite India putting up a strong fight with the ball in the final overs, Pakistan held their nerve, and Asif Ali and Khushdil Shah finished the job, handing Pakistan a thrilling five-wicket win over India.
