INTRODUCTION


The Sahara Cup featured a series of five One Day International (ODI) matches between two of the worlds best cricket playing nations. The rivalry between India and Pakistan ensured that this tournament, held from 1996-1998, was always a showcase for some top class cricket.

The One Day International is a form of international cricket where a game is played over the course of a single day and a limited number of overs is bowled by each team - typically 50. Unlike Test cricket, a lot of one-day cricket is played in the form of tournaments with more than two teams competing. In 1999 the Sahara Cup was cancelled and replaced with the DMC Toronto Cricket Festival. This was also a ODI match competition, however, it featured India, Pakistan and the West Indies; and 3 matches were played between the West Indies and India, and 3 matches were played between the West Indies and Pakistan.

The Sahara Cup Archive is a collection of exciting One Day Internationals between Pakistan, India and the West Indies dating from 1996 – 1999.
