A famous encounter between India and Pakistan took place during the 2010 Asia Cup at the Dambulla stadium in Sri Lanka. Pakistan after winning the toss and electing to bat first were bowled out for 267 runs. Salman Butt top scored with 75 for his side. In response, India started their chase steadily. 

The innings were being halted with wickets from the Pakistani bowlers at regular intervals. Gautam Gambhir looked solid at one end. He along with skipper Dhoni seemed to take India home, however towards the later half of the innings wickets began to fall quickly. Suresh Raina along with Harbhajan Singh build up a crucial lower-order partnership to take India ever so closer to the target. 

After the wicket of Raina in the penultimate over, it was Harbhajan who took India home with an incredible six of the second last ball of the innings. The game will be remembered for some heated moments between Harbhajan Singh and Shoaib Akhtar towards the last few overs.
