Javed single-handedly won the game for Pakistan, one of the best ODI knocks of all time without a doubt. Was a great innings overall if you forget the last-ball six for a moment Only 30 runs out of Miandad’s 116* came from 4s or 6s yet he still scored at a strike rate of 101, proof of his deft placement and strike rotation skills

The six which changed the psyche of the two teams for years to come, so much so that India ran away from Sharjah.
!!!
Good for you if it serves your ego but facts are different. India played in Sharjah until late 90s where as this match was in 1986. Reason why India stopped playing in Sharjah was because too much of match fixing and manipulation of conditions and umpiring was going on. I am glad they did it.

satisfies your ego as well I suppose, look at some of the interviews of your leading players of the day and they all admitted to this fact and eventually hiding behind the manipulation and match fixing excuse they ran away form Sharjah. I am glad as well they stopped, showed their true face.

can you post any interviews of leading player?
And if it was because of this SIX then why it took them 14 years to figure that out. Pretty slow reaction I must say.
re: On this day in 1986 - Miandad seals it with a Six in Sharjah

The interviews are there on youtube, Ravi Shastri for one. Which 14 years, did they stop playing in 2000, they stopped playing for a few years after this match and than when Aaqib javed took the hat trick against them they started crying that the umpire was biased even though he was a SL umpire. In the mid 90's they came back to play and I remember that as I was at that match and all around the Indians were full of what Tendi was going to do to Pak. As usual India lost the match and I still remember on Pakistani guy got up at the end of the match and addressing the indians said last time we beat you you ran away for 5 years now how long are you going to run for.

What do you mean by that? Neutral umpires stood in all Sharjah matches

You might not have but I have. I cant remember the exact words but the guy interviewing him asked him what was his reaction as that six was hit and he replied with that as the six soared so our confidence nosedived and he later on admitted in that interview that it affected the psyche of the Indian team for sometime to come.

The S/L umpire gave a hat trick against India and all three were LBW by Aqib. The Indians alleged that the S/L umpire was biased and took revenge for India beating S/L. That was the perfect excuse for them to run away from Sharjah.

I would agree with confidence nosediving part but it is different than running away from Sharjah. Fact is India did play in Sharjah immediately after 1986 and they did so untill 2000.So your comment that India ran away from Sharjah after THAT SIX is ridiculous.
GoldenAsif,
Those days relation between fixing Mafia ( likes of Dawood Ibrahim and Gang) and Sharjah cricket board was very 'warm' and Sharjah was considered mecca of fixer. If they can fix players, poor sri lankan umpires were easy target.

this was the first title won by Pakistan and after this they won many cups
But this was unforgettable and i m sure reactions were just like Bangladeshi reaction in recent Asia cup
