Abdul Razzaq 109 not out off 72 v South Africa in Abu Dhabi 2010

Score on arrival: 136 for 5, chasing 287

Final score: 289 for 9, won by 1 wicket with 1 ball to spare

Abdul Razzaq smashed ten sixes, Pakistan razed 150 off the last 20 overs to come back from the dead, numbers which look normal in 2018, but were truly remarkable for the time.

Razzaq arrived in a position below the rest on this list, at the fall of the seventh wicket, and hit six sixes in the last four overs, all while batting with Wahab Riaz and Saeed Ajmal, Pakistan's numbers 10 and 11

For perspective, Pakistan's last four batsmen were dismissed for single figures, while Razzaq did his thing at the other end.

Yusuf Pathan 123 off 96 balls v New Zealand in Bengaluru 2010

Score on arrival: 108 for 4, chasing 316

Final score: 321 for 5, won by 5 wickets with 7 balls to spare

India had already sealed a five-match ODI series 3-0, and were looking jittery in a tall chase, having lost their top order on the cheap.

New Zealand's pacers then tested Yusuf Pathan with the short stuff, which he played out, while smashing the freebies they dished out every once in a while.

The marauding hundred arrived at a crucial point for Yusuf, coming as it did in the months leading to India's World Cup squad selection for the 2011 tournament at home. 

Ravi Bopara 101 not out off 75 balls v Ireland in Malahide 2013

Score on arrival: 48 for 4, chasing 266

Final score: 274 for 4, won by 6 wickets with 42 balls to spare

A one-off ODI in Ireland was threatening to swing the home side's way when James Taylor was bowled by Tim Murtagh, with 226 runs still needed off 210 balls.
 

Ravi Bopara combined with captain and hometown boy Eoin Morgan to get those 226 runs off just 28 overs, racing to his only ODI hundred off just 74 balls.

For a packed crowd in Malahide, who had seen encouraging signs of a shock victory all afternoon, it was all a bit of a kick in the teeth, all the more stinging given that Morgan had played such a key role.

Mahmudullah 102 not out off 107 balls v New Zealand in Cardiff ICC Champions Trophy 2017

Score on arrival: 33 for 4, chasing 266

Final score: 268 for 5, won by 5 wickets with 16 balls to spare

Bangladesh were routed by England, got a point out of a rain-affected game against Australia and had to win against New Zealand to qualify for the semi-final.
 

They were down and out at 33 for 4 in pursuit of 266, when Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah combined to put together 224 runs, the second-highest for any wicket in Champions Trophy history.

It was another major statement win for a rising ODI power, their second successive progress to the knockout stage after their quarter-final run in World Cup 2015.

An epic clash which is still remembered at Lord's in 2002

This is one of the most historic ODIs in cricket. In the finals of the 2002 NatWest series, England batted first and scored a mammoth 325. England captain Nasser Hussain and opener Marcus Trescothick both scored centuries. The score looked insurmountable and many pundits wrote the young Indian team off.India was stuttering at one stage,
having lost half their side for less than 150 runs. Then came the young pair of Yuvraj and Mohammad Kaif who joined hands together to notch up a massive partnership of 121, with Yuvraj scoring 69 and Kaif scoring 87 not out to register an emphatic win.Many cricketing fans would remember this match for Sourav Ganguly's epic celebration when he waived his shirt off at the Lord's balcony. This classic is still one of India's finest victories in ODIs.

Robin Uthappa's helped India to secure a victory at London in 2007

India were trailing 2-3 to England, and a loss in this match would have meant England win the series. England elected to bat first and posted a mammoth 316 runs as the Indian bowlers had an off day.A century from Owais Shah and useful contributions from Bell, Wright, and Pietersen helped them to reach that score. Notably, in this match, Dmitri Mascarenhas plundered five sixes in an over of Yuvraj Singh and scored 36 runs off 15 balls.India,
in reply, got off to a good start with Ganguly (53), Sachin (94) and Gambhir (47) all playing crucial knocks. However, England hit back and India's innings crumbled. It was left to Dhoni and Uthappa to salvage the match with the run-rate climbing up.Both of them did an excellent job as they helped India steady the innings. Dhoni got out at a crucial moment of the match, and it was Uthappa's heroics which helped India get over the finishing line with just two balls left to play.

This match is one of the classics in the World Cup

On a friendly batting surface, India batted first and started off excellently. It was again the Little Master who led from the front and scored a fantastic century. It looked like India would comfortably post 400 runs, but the English bowlers were able to stem the run flow at the end and India ended with 338 runs.

During the chase, England started off well, and Andrew Strauss was on fire. At one point it looked like they would comfortably overhaul the target, but it was Zaheer Khan's over which was the turning point of the match. His two wickets in a single over helped India pull things back, and the match ended in a tie.Strauss was the Man of the Match for his magnificent 158 runs.

Nehra was India's hero 2003 ICC World Cup at Durban

In this match, India dominated England with both bat and ball. India batted first and scored 250 runs. Sachin Tendulkar was in breathtaking form as he scored a half-century with some glorious shots. Giving him company was Rahul Dravid and Yuvraj Singh who scored 62 and 42 respectively.

India's bowling was led by veteran Javagal Srinath, but it was the youngster Ashish Nehra who stole the show. His swing and pace troubled the English batsmen earlier on as he finished with figures of 6/23. England was bundled out for 168 runs. Nehra's bowling figures are still the best figures by an Indian bowler in the World Cup.

Flintoff was the difference between the two sides

India was leading the six-match ODI series (3-2), and a win in the last match would have sealed the series in their favour. However, things did not go as per the script as England mounted a spirited comeback and drew the series 3-3.Virender Sehwag and Sourav Ganguly started off well in the chase of 255 runs but India's lower order failed,
and India lost by 5 runs. His bowling was exceptional as he cleaned the lower order, and returned with figures of 3 wickets for 38 runs. Notably, he just conceded 3.86 runs in his spell.While batting too, Flintoff added a crucial 40 runs which helped England post a decent total of 255 runs. India vs England - 6th ODI, Mumbai, February 2002

Dhoni lets Kohli score winning runs

We have often seen MS Dhoni in the role of a finisher. Gone are those days where he used to handle pressure situations and finishing off the matches in his own style. Nevertheless, he is still one of the best in the business.In the fifth ODI against Sri Lanka in 2017 at Columbo, Dhoni let Virat Kohli play the role of a finisher. In that match,
Kohli played a match-winning knock of 110 from 116 balls. When Kohli was batting on 109, Dhoni came to the crease and took a single in the first ball he faced as he could bring Kohli on strike to score the winning runs. The current captain was all smiles and he scored the winning runs.Dhoni did the same in 2014 ICC World T20 semi-final as well. Dhoni defended a ball so that Kohli could finish the match. "You have batted really well. What else can I gift you?" the then captain quipped.

Mighty Marcus powers fifty but Aussies fall short

Having been close to a Test call-up at the start of the summer, Marcus Stoinis has been pushed down the pecking order following Mitchell Marsh's emergence in the Ashes series. Selectors are big fans of the Western Australian but have deemed it unnecessary
to pick a second seam-bowling allrounder in the squad, although he’d be the most likely replacement should injury hit Marsh during the series. Instead, the powerful allrounder will look to continue his strong international form in the T20 series against New Zealand and England before returning to Shield cricket.

Brilliant Burns posts maiden double century

A versatile batsman who can bat anywhere in the top six, Burns was a chance for a recall before a recent groin injury scuppered those plans. The right-hander made a strong case for inclusion with two centuries in the Shield competition, including a maiden double hundred, and he continued to hit the ball well in the KFC BBL.
With opener Cameron Bancroft yet to establish himself in the side, selectors confirmed that Burns (who opens for Queensland) would have been considered before injury struck. As it is, the Aussies have opted for just one reserve batsman – Victorian Peter Handscomb – with Shaun Marsh or Usman Khawaja options to open the batting should they be needed.

Frugal Agar marks return with four scalps

Agar has been Nathan Lyon's spin deputy for the past six months, having played two Tests on last year's tour of Bangladesh and been called-up to an extended squad for the Sydney Test earlier this month. But with conditions in South Africa unlikely to call for a dual spin attack,
selectors have opted instead for Holland to be with the group should injury strike Lyon during the Test series. It means Agar has been freed up to play the T20 series before he returns to Shield cricket to continue his development in the longest form of the game.

Seaming Sayers claims four Blues wickets

A member of Australia's Ashes squad at the start of the summer, Sayers has been overlooked in favour of Western Australian young gun Richardson. Given Richardson is seemingly the fifth of five quicks in the squad, behind Australia's frontline pace trio and Jackson Bird,
it's unlikely Sayers would have played much of a role in the series anyway unless injury was to hit two of the main fast bowlers. As a player of the future, Richardson will get some valuable experience on his first Test tour while Sayers will aim to do what he's done so well over the past few years – return to Shield cricket and take plenty of wickets.

Glenn Maxwell's epic Shield knock ends on 278

The Australians have opted for just one reserve batsman in their squad, staying faithful to Peter Handscomb, meaning Maxwell has again been overlooked. The right-hander was a part of the Test side last year and was called in as cover ahead of the first Ashes Test in Brisbane,
before returning to the JLT Sheffield Shield and dominating in first-class cricket. All indications are that, if batting reinforcements are needed during the Test series, the competition's leading run-scorer so far this season, would be near the front of the list for a recall. Instead, he'll take part in the T20 tri-series before returning to Shield cricket with Victoria.

Poor effort from the bowlers overall

On a brighter picture, yes, Dilruwan Perera was not great on the day, but the other bowlers didn’t do anything significant as well. The fast bowlers were hitting nice lengths, but they failed to induce Pujara and Vijay to play any false shots.
The only wicket that came on the day seemed like a gift from Vijay out of mercy, as he tried to sweep the ball off a low full-toss and got a top edge. They failed to create chances and paid a hefty price for being a little too casual.

Kohli ups the ante

The innings was progressing at a 2.86 per over before Kohli came in and after the skipper put the cat amongst the pigeons with his aggressive approach, the run rate escalated
to over 3.1 an over. He walked his towards a half-century with the runs coming in at a canter. His 70-ball 54 includes 6 fours and every time there was a poor ball, he kept knocking it towards the boundary.

Surviving the initial phase against the spinners

If it had not been for Pujara and Vijay‘s resolute batting technique, India would never have survived the initial phase on the day when the spinners were bowling really well.
This is exactly what they missed in the first Test. Although they didn’t accumulate a lot of runs, the bowlers failed to extract any support with the ball softening up. It was these two gentlemen’s effort that set the platform for the side.

A forgettable outing for Dilruwan Perera

Dilruwan Perera had one of his worst days on the field as a professional cricketer on Day 2. After dropping a dolly off Vijay, who eventually scored a hundred,
he conceded loads o runs by straying off the line and bowling against the field placement. Dinesh Chandimal kept giving the ball hoping for something different to happen, but he only kept conceding runs. He conceded 117 runs in 21 overs at an economy rate of 5.6.

Vijay intensifies the selectors’ headache

Murali Vijay’s sensational hundred meant that India now has 3 openers in the fray, all in a wonderful nick. When Dhawan will be back in the next game, Kohli will have a difficult task to choose between these three.
Vijay stroked a magnificent 128 off 221 balls, which includes 11 fours and one big hit out of the park. He played some classical drives throughout his innings and eventually, was dismissed in a very unfortunate manner off Herath.
