There are few matches in the world of sports that have captured the imagination, or evoked more interest in India, than that between India and Pakistan. It's a rivalry that has transcended sports to become an integral part of our society. It's important, therefore, for every Indian to understand the history of this rivalry. This article will attempt to detail some major events in cricket history between these two countries over the last decade or so. We hope you enjoy reading it! The author would like to thank The Wire for providing information on Indian–Pakistani cricket matches for this article. In February of 1994, India and Pakistan met for a One-Day International (ODI) match at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The match ended in a tie, and as is customary in such cases, was followed by a Super Sixes match 5 days later at the same venue. The first three matches were closely fought until day 3 of the 4-day match on 19 February 1994 where India declared with a first innings lead of 262 runs. After following on as nightwatchman, Wasim Akram's sensational 149 laid the platform for Pakistan to score 308 runs on the last day. A target of 6 runs in 6 balls for Pakistan was achieved when Waqar Younis hit the 6th ball he faced for 6. A tie was declared, since the Super Sixes rule calls for a Super Over (One-Over Elimination) match to determine the winner when no team reaches this target. The match in Kolkata had an attendance of just over 80,000 spectators in February 1994. This is the joint highest ever in India–Pakistan cricket matches till date. The Super Sixes match played 5 days later also had an attendance over 80,000 spectators setting another joint highest record in India–Pakistan cricket matches till date. India and Pakistan met at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, again, for the 1999 Cricket World Cup. India won by 6 wickets in a low scoring match with just 132 runs scored by both teams. It was the first time that India had ever beaten Pakistan in a world cup match. The match had an attendance of just over 90,000 spectators. On 6 March 1999, India and Pakistan again met at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata for a One-Day International. This time too it ended in a tie (1 run each), while rain prevented any result during the Super Over (One-Over Elimination) match held on day 5 of this 4-day match. On 9 March 1999, India and Pakistan met at the Holkar Stadium in Indore for a One-Day International. This time too it ended in a tie (1 run each), while rain prevented any result during the Super Over (One-Over Elimination) match held on day 5 of this 4-day match. On 16 October 2000, India and Pakistan met at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi, for an Asia Cup match. It was a low scoring match with just 2 runs scored by both teams in this One Day International. cfa1e77820
