The India-Pakistan clashes are always high voltage clashes and this one in the 2004 Asia Cup in Colombo is remembered for a master class in batting by Shoaib Malik.

Pakistan batted first and Malik, who batted at no.3, came out in the second over itself when Imran Nazir was dismissed by Pathan. Other batsmen kept coming, playing cameos and going, Malik kept going at one end and scored a magnificent 143 in 127 balls with 18 fours and 1 six. His century took Pakistan to 300/9 in 50 overs.

The total proved to be too big for India to chase down as it lost wickets regularly, despite 78 from Sachin Tendulkar. Pakistan won the match by 59 runs and Malik was given the Man of the match award.

Here is the video of the innings:
