Pakistan, batting first after winning the toss, posted a competitive total, but Sri Lanka looked completely in control of the chase. At one stage, they needed just 24 runs from 10 overs with 8 wickets in hand, a situation where defeat looked inevitable for Pakistan. However, the match turned on its head when Abdur Razzaq returned for three of the final five overs. With 14 required from 30 balls and five wickets remaining, Sri Lanka still appeared safe. Razzaq even conceded only three runs in one over, including two overthrows, seemingly pushing the game further in Sri Lanka’s favour. What followed was pure magic. Using unplayable reverse swing, Razzaq ripped through the Sri Lankan lower order, hitting the stumps three times and completing a career-best spell of 5/31. His astonishing four wickets for zero runs in nine balls triggered a collapse that resulted in one of the most memorable tied ODIs ever played. This match remains a defining moment in Abdur Razzaq’s career and a timeless Sharjah classic that cricket fans still talk about decades later. 📌 Watch the full recap to relive the drama, pressure moments, and one of the greatest bowling spells in ODI history. #pakvssl #thriller #cricketmax #highlights #abdulrazzak
