On April 18, 1986 Javed Miandad hit a winning 6 on the last ball when only 1 wicket was in hand. Chetan Sharma was bowling and tried to bowl a yorker which turned into a low full toss and Miandad clear boundary. It was the first major win for Pakistan and led to a series of big wins afterwards.

Miandad's celebration after hitting a winning six

On April 18, 1986 Pakistan was playing against India in Sharjah. 4 runs were required from the last ball and only one wicket in hand. Chetan Sharma was the bowler and he wanted to bowl a yorker to seal another win for India. Thinking was right but execution was wrong, the yorker turned into a low full toss which Miandad smashed for a six and became a national hero of Pakistan. It happened many years ago, but it is still fresh in people's minds. Because of this victory, Pakistan got a psychological advantage over India and had a series of successes afterwards.

Since that day Sharjah had become a bed of rivalry between India and Pakistan. People around the world waited for months to watch these two teams playing against each other on this historic ground. But both teams stopped playing bilateral series because of diplomatic tension.
