00:00In the third match at Sharjah on October 15, 1989, Shahid Saeed delivered a composed and
00:06valuable knock at the top of the order.
00:09Opening the innings for Pakistan, he scored a well-crafted 50 of 65 deliveries, including
00:15just one boundary and one six.
00:17His steady approach laid the foundation for a commanding 99-run opening partnership, which
00:23proved instrumental in setting up Pakistan's successful run chase.
00:27The solidity he provided at the top allowed the middle order to build comfortably, as
00:32Pakistan went on to defeat India by six wickets.
00:36Let's relive Shahid Saeed's impressive innings, a measured and match-winning effort in a high-pressure
00:41encounter.
01:11One more, Hazar is dead.
01:18It's 14 without loss and three overs, very positive cricket by the two.
01:24There should be two more here.
01:30That's well placed by Saeed, a good over for Pakistan there, at 24 without loss, in six overs.
01:49And it's field by Amanat, where there shouldn't have been a run, two are there, so, and this
02:06field galore continues.
02:08That could have been very close, if the throw had been accurate, but it was extremely good
02:29work by Azar, who had to make a lot of ground.
02:35In the end, they managed the single they were wanting.
02:42Lovely throw, magnificent fielding, joy to behold.
02:58A 65 in 14 overs.
03:05And they're coming back for a very good run, a 12 run.
03:07I think the two fielders there, Sharma and Kapil, just a little slow and the batsman taking
03:13advantage.
03:14Second off, Pakistan had to get on with it.
03:29Paul drew midwick it, and brilliantly fielded by Shastri.
03:36He lost quite a bad fall, quickly recovered, and used his reach well to cut off what would
03:42have been a fall.
03:44I'll show you, there comes the return, and he's home for two.
04:0089, a very good over from the, uh, Pakistan point of view.
04:06So, at the end of the 18, it's 89 for no overkits.
04:13Remember, India lost their first ticket at, uh, 92.
04:18That should be, um, the umpire's going to ask him whether it's six or four.
04:33And it's six.
04:38There's umpire's Shepard, siddling six.
04:43It was a tremendous blow, that one.
04:56It's 97.
04:58And that is Chai Tse Siddling.
05:02There's Boland, there's the first wicket gone.
05:15Chai Tse Siddling, four shots three.
05:19And Pakistan are 99 for one.
05:32Very well bowled.
05:33First four balls by Ravi.
05:34And there it is.
05:35He plays.
05:36And the ball sort into the bathroom.
05:37And he plays outside of it.
05:38And he will see.
