India vs Pakistan: Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif says the loss against India in the quarterfinals of the 1996 World Cup in Bengaluru still haunts him and called it one of his worst memories in his cricketing career.
“The loss against India in the quarterfinals of the 1996 World Cup in Bengaluru. It still haunts me. When I returned home to Karachi, I used to wake up at night,” Latif said on Geo News show “Hasna Mana Hai.”
“We lost in the 2003 ODI World Cup as well, but that loss in Bengaluru was painful.
Batting first, India posted 187 for 8. Navjot Singh Sidhu scored a remarkable 93, but it was Ajay Jadeja’s innings that proved to be the difference. Jadeja smashed a 25-ball 45, including his onslaught against Waqar Younis, whose first eight overs had yielded 27 runs, but whose final two were smashed for 22 and 18 respectively.
