Thrill is guaranteed when India and Pakistan lock horns on the cricket field. One such exciting contest was witnessed when the two arch-rivals met in the group stage of ICC T20 World Cup 2007 in Durban. The match, which took place on exact this day (September 14), saw many twists and turns and ended in a tie. As super-over wasn't introduced at that time, a bowl out was called to get the result. Indians were spot on as they hit the stumps in their first three deliveries while the Pakistan bowlers couldn't smash the bull's eye even once. As a result, the Men in Blue dramatically won the game. Thirteen years have been passed since that game, but the memories of the epic encounter are still fresh in the fans' mind. In fact, many IPL teams like Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad also recalled the game. IPL 2020 Schedule Time Table for PDF Download Online: Full Match Fixtures With Date, Timings in IST and Venue Details.

Batting first, India's batting order was jolted by Mohammad Asif's fiery spell. The likes of Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj were dismissed for single-digit scores. However, Robin Uthappa rose to the occasion and scored a fighting half-century, guiding India to 141-9. In reply, Pakistan also lost wickets at regular intervals and looked all set to lose the game. However, Misbah-ul-Haq didn't put his guards down and scored 53 runs, helping Pakistan tie the game. Most Dangerous Team In IPL: 4 Stats That Prove MS Dhoni-Led CSK Are Favourites to Lift Indian Premier League 2020 Title.

On the other hand, Pakistan's Yasir Arafat, Umar Gul and Shahid Afridi failed to hit the stumps. Meanwhile, let's look at how IPL teams recalled the historic game.
