In the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, Team India faced off against Pakistan in their first group-stage match at Kingsmead, Durban. It was on this day in 2007 that the MS Dhoni-led side defeated Pakistan in the nail-biting match courtesy of a ball-out.
Back then, when a match used to get tied, the concept of super over like today was not implemented, and thus a ball-out was used to determine the winner of the contest.
It was an incredible turnaround as Pakistan, renowned for their bowling, failed to dislodge the bails in any of their three attempts, while Team India rattled the stumps in all three attempts to win 3-0.

Pakistan's chase never got off to a good start and the side found itself at 87/5. Misbah-ul-Haq played a knock of 53 runs, but in the final over, he was run out and as a result, the match ended in a tie.
For India, Irfan Pathan scalped two wickets. This was the first time that MS Dhoni was leading India and he eventually took the side to the T20 World Cup win in 2007.
India once again locked horns with Pakistan in the finals, and the Men in Blue emerged victorious by five runs in the finals which was played at the Wanderers, Johannesburg.
