Does anyone remember this match? I just read some articles on it, so many twists and turns! Sounds brilliant...

As much as it pains me to say, some great heroics shown by Ranatunga!

any idea why akram only bowled 2.1 overs for the matcH? would have made the diff imo

Injury mate! And Mushtaq was also partly injured, but soldiered on admirely. Another reason why the game was so great...

Ranatunga made a few without hitting many boundaries, someone must have had some runing to do...

Didnt get to watch it coz i was at school but i heard it was great tho

Great match by the looks of things, fantastic efforts from both sides, particularly Pakistan with only three specialist bowlers but also Sri Lankan when they found themselves eight down with Ranatunga doubtful.

Ranatunga only made 49 and 29, why was it heroic
