00:00In this video, we take you back to Karachi, March 12, 1982, where the first OTI between
00:06Pakistan and Sri Lanka served up a fascinating contest.
00:10The spotlight fell on a young Sri Lankan talent Roy Dice and Pakistan fiery Seymour Tahir
00:16Nakash.
00:17Tahir Nakash, known for his brisk pace and ability to move the ball, tested the Sri Lankan
00:22batting mainstay with fire and discipline.
00:24Roy Dice, full of promise and elegance, showcased his claws early with the crisp boundary of
00:30Nakash, a shot that spoke of confidence and style, but the baller was not one to be silenced
00:36for long.
00:37Tahir Nakash gathering rhythm and fire came back with propping deliveries, tightening the
00:42screws and forcing right dice onto the back foot.
00:45The 30th over of the Sri Lankan inning, about to come in, and the ball Tahir Nakash from the
00:55pavilion end to Roy Dice.
00:57Roy Dice.
00:58An almighty go down towards deep mid-off, the ball racing towards the boundary forward.
01:07Jalal unable to cut it off.
01:10Lovely shot by Dice, he's not out 57, and Sri Lanka are now 151, that's the 150 of the Sri Lankan
01:16innings.
01:17151 for the loss of Varnapura and Vettemilu, 151 for the loss of Varnapura and Vettemilu.
01:23151 for the loss of two wickets, Dice 57, Mundus 2.
01:29Nakash, Burlinghouse, Christopher.
01:30This is the 30th over in the Sri Lankan innings.
01:31Nakash to down.
01:32Out into the covers.
01:36To look at the onside field.
01:37This is the 30th over in the Sri Lanka Minis, not fast to dance.
01:51Out into the covers.
01:54To look at the onside field, motion firm, right on the boundary, mid-wicket.
02:12With offside field rather, feet fixed to cover.
02:19Not fast to dance.
02:24Just over the outside fingers of Fahed Maqar, down to mid-off, where's the line fielding it.
02:40The onside field, long arms, mid-wicket, near that, behind the stump, in place of Stalinger.
02:53With the leader.
02:54From Nakhash.
02:55The near that, has kept wicket in test matches before.
03:02Niyagad has kept wickets in test matches before, he kept against the Stalia of Lahore, in fact
03:17brought off a cash to dismiss Alan Borda, whom he caught off the bailing of Azhar Khan after
03:24Alan Borda had scored a hundred and fifty cents, and a pass to die. Oh, and that's right, Korten
03:35Bould, didn't have asked for an easier catch there, very half-hearted stroke, and he just
03:43loved him from the fin, and thank you very much, said Tahir Naqqaist. In the action replay,
03:52the battle reached its climax when Tahir Naqaist produced the perfect delivery, drawing
04:17right eyes into a return catch, a simple caught and bold yet symbolic of a young fastballer's
04:23grit and persistence against a best man who looked ready to dominate. It was more than just a dismissal,
04:29it was a snapshot of the golden era of ODI cricket, when contests were raw, spirited,
04:36and brimming with character. Two young men testing each other's skills and nerves,
04:40as the memory that still carries the charms of vintage cricket. This was more than a match,
04:46it was a glimpse into the evolving face of one-day cricket in the subcontinent, where every spell
04:52and every inning is left an impression far deeper than the numbers on the scorecard.
