5 bowlers who defended less than 6 runs in the last over of an ODI

#2 Glenn Maxwell, 2 runs

Maxwell performed with the ball for Australia to lead them to an extraordinary win

Maxwell has done some extraordinary things on the pitch, but a double-wicket maiden as the last over is something he will cherish for long. With Sohail Tanvir and Zulfiqar Babar at the crease, Pakistan needed just two runs in six balls, with two wickets in hand in an ODI at Abu Dhabi in 2014.

Maxwell, however, kept bowling flat and quick. What ensued was unprecedented drama. Tanvir, in the mood to finish off the match, went for a wild slog across the line and was bowled.

Mohammad Irfan, the number eleven that followed him, had hit Maxwell for two sixes in the previous match. In a bid to reproduce the same, he couldn’t make contact with the bat for the next three deliveries. When he did, the ball ballooned in the air and was gobbled up at cover. In bizarre fashion, Maxwell had handed Australia their narrowest victory against Pakistan.
