In 2006, Zimbabwe was playing against Bangladesh at Harare. Zimbabwe were chasing and needed 17 runs off the last over. Mashrafe Mortaza was bowling the last over.

Eventually, it came down to the last ball and Zimbabwe needed 5 runs to seal the deal. Taylor hit Mortaza for a six over the midwicket boundary and finished off the match.

Chanderpaul was not known for his big hitting skills but during that day in 2008, he was in his elements. 10 runs were needed off the last two balls and Chaminda Vaas was bowling.

Chanderpaul hit the penultimate ball for a boundary and 6 runs were needed off the last ball. Vaas made a big mistake and bowled a full toss which was hit out of the ground by magnificent Chanderpaul.
