Javed Miandad to Naseem Shah: Pakistan's five six-shooting heroes
1/5
Javed Miandad
Pakistan fast bowler Naseem Shah smashed Afghanistan left-arm seamer Fazalhaq Farooqi for successive sixes in the last over on September 7 to take his team to the final of the Asia Cup in a thrilling encounter. Let's take a look at five memorable six-hitting moments in Pakistan's cricketing history:
Javed Miandad's final ball six off India's Chetan Sharma in the 1986 Austral-Asia Cup final at Sharjah still hurts India fans. Needing 246 for victory, Pakistan were in trouble at 61-3 before Miandad struck an unbeaten 116 off 114 balls.

Asif Mujtaba
A left-handed gutsy middle-order batsman, Asif Mujtaba took on Australia's bowlers in a 50-over World Series match in 1992 and hit a six off the last ball from Steve Waugh to tie a dramatic game.
3/5
Shahid Afridi
Shahid Afridi won many exciting games for Pakistan with his maverick batting but his two sixes off India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in a 2014 Asia Cup 50-over match remain special.
