Ten terrific cameos in ODI cricket

Moin Khan v/s Australia (31* off 12 balls), 1999 World Cup

With Pakistan five wickets down against the Australians on a Headingley pitch that offered plenty of assistance to the quicker bowlers, hopes of getting a 250-plus total looked faint.

But then wicket-keeper Moin Khan played a superb knock, infusing momentum back into his side’s innings with some audacious strokes. He smashed his first delivery from Damien Fleming for a boundary, before pulling Glenn McGrath for a cracking six.

He then brought out the shot of the day – a casual flick over forward square leg off Fleming for yet another six – before repeating the same shot against McGrath in the final over, then finished the innings with a flourish, cutting the seamer to third man for another boundary, as Pakistan reached 275 and won a thriller by just ten runs.
