Is he also the only one to hit a six off the last ball to win a ODI match? or T20 Match, for that matter?
I remember Asif Mujtaba hit a six to tie a match.
@raj: I know Chanderpaul hit a six off the last ball against Sri Lanka last year to win.

Asif Mujtaba did tie a game. And I know Bevan hit a four to win against West Indies.
Yep Chanderpaul did it off Vaas.. also a full toss sent over mid wicket!
He hit a 4 and a 6 off the final 2 deliveries and Windies won by 1 wkt.. was watching LIVE.. wat an end that was!
Asif Mujtaba has also won one game with a 6 I reckon.. or has he tied two?
I think Abdul Qadir as well. I'm going to look this up.
Not sure of any others.
This is the one Mujtaba tied with a 6:

He also won a game off the penultimate ball but not with a 6:

This is the Qadir match I'm talking about:

But the 6 came of the 4th delivery. Won by 1 wkt off the final ball!
