  1. Pakistan dismantles New Zealand:

In New Zealand’s tour of Pakistan in 2002, Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat in the bright sunshine at Lahore.

It was a great game for the Asian side who ran away with the fifth biggest victory in test cricket. Thanks to a triple century from Inzamam-ul-Haq and a fierce spell of 6/11 in just 8 overs from Shoaib Akhtar the Black Caps were bundled out for just 73 in the first innings and went on to lose the game by an innings and 324 runs.

On this very day, Saqlain Mushtaq got Chris Martin caught at short-leg giving Pakistan this historic victory over their rivals.
