The quarterfinal is most remembered for an explosive clash between Pakistan skipper Aamir Sohail and Indian pacer Venkatesh Prasad.
Chasing India’s 287/8, Pakistan were off to a flying start with Aamir Sohail putting on 84 runs for the first wicket with Saeed Anwar (48 off 32 balls) in the first 10 overs.
Aamir Sohail had just smashed Venkatesh Prasad to the boundary and reached 55 off 45 balls before losing his cool and his stumps went flying the next ball.
Waqar Younis opined that the dismissal of Aamir Sohail completely changed the complexion of the game and he was surprised by his skipper’s behaviour.
Waqar Younis, who turned out in 87 Tests and 262 ODIs for Pakistan, explained how the dismissal left a negative impact on the remainder of the Pakistan innings.
Waqar Younis was hammered all around the park by Ajay Jadeja
The former Pakistan captain was hammered by Ajay Jadeja in a late assault in the game as he conceded 67 runs in his quota of 10 overs while Jadeja scored a 25-ball 45 to propel India to a match-winning total.
