India and Pakistan met in the 2003 ODI World Cup encounter in Centurion in a day match. Pakistan batted first and thanks to a century from Saeed Anwar, scored 273/7 in 50 overs. India responded by taking apart their three big pacers in the form of Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar, and Waqar Younis. Virender Sehwag hit a luscious six-over point to Younis before falling for 21 runs.

However, Sourav Ganguly then fell for a golden duck, but Sachin Tendulkar carried on his blitzkrieg. His cut shot for a six-over point to Sohaib Akhtar is a permanent fixture in any highlight reel for the India versus Pakistan match. He hammered the Pakistani bowlers, scoring 98 runs in 75 balls with 12 fours and that amazing six. He fell to a short ball from Akhtar near the end. But Rahul Dravid (44*) and Yuvraj Singh (50*) took India home with 6 wickets to spare.
