Re: The most Painful Pakistani Cricket Defeat in World Cup
For sheer drama nothing comes close to the Pak / Windies match in the 1975 world cup. Keep in mind that it was THE LEGENDARY west indian team led by Clive Lloyd and his pace battery of TERRORIST fast bowlers.
Pakistan 266 / 7 in 60 overs - including that blistering knock by Raja (Late) And we had the windies by the TAIL (or substitute anything that you like) and they were reeling at 166/8
And then it was 203 / 9 - still the match was pretty much in our hands and the bloody last pair of Derek murray and Andy Roberts saw them to victory. Pakistan lost that match by 1 wicket.
I watched that match at the ground and was heart broken when Pakistan snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
