5 greatest fourth innings knocks where teams won by one wicket

#3 Jimmy Adams (48*) vs Pakistan (Antigua, 2000)

The former West Indies skipper denied Pakistan a win with his gritty 48*

Jimmy Adams' 48* at Antigua against Pakistan remains the best of his many rearguard knocks. When Pakistan toured West Indies in 2000, it was a period of decline for West Indies, but they were still a difficult side to beat at home.

Chasing a target of 216, the home side slipped to 197/9 from a comfortable 144/3 with Wasim Akram registering a five-wicket haul after an impressive 63 by Wavell Hinds.

Adams, the skipper, was joined by Walsh at the crease with 19 runs still required. Walsh survived a bat-pad appeal, which he actually edged, and then Adams survived a caught behind appeal off Wasim Akram. Fighting his way through to take his side home, Adams batted out 212 balls for his 48*.

After 72 minutes of struggle at the crease, Walsh and Adams scripted a memorable win.
