The most intense last over I’ve ever witnessed was in the India vs. South Africa Super 8s match in the 2012 T20 World Cup. South Africa needed 14 runs off the final 6 balls with two wickets remaining, and India handed the ball to Balaji. Facing him were the Morkel brothers.
First ball Albie Morkel smashes a six, momentum shifts to South Africa. He gets bowled on the next ball, swinging the momentum back to India.
Third ball Dot. India is still favourites. But then, Morne Morkel lands a six off the fourth ball! Now it’s two runs off two balls, and South Africa looks set to win.
But Balaji stays calm, goes for the stumps, delivers a perfect yorker, and knocks the stumps, giving India a victory by one run.
