Thrillers galore: The five best matches of T20 World Cup so far
Predict to win! - be Champion!!

We have already seen final over thrillers, epic comebacks and superb individual performances at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, so here are the best five matches witnessed so far in Australia.

1. India v Pakistan, MCG, October 23

When India take on Pakistan at any level there is always a lot of excitement and plenty of anticipation, but this MCG contest was a classic of epic proportions as Virat Kohli produced an innings for the ages (82* off 53 balls) to lead his side to a thrilling victory.

The atmosphere outside the ground prior to the match was electric and the action inside the arena was even more jaw-dropping as Pakistan posted a competitive total of 159/8 on the back of half-centuries to Shan Masood (52*) and Iftikhar Ahmed (51).

2. Pakistan v Zimbabwe, Perth Stadium, October 27

This clash was another prime example that the best T20I contests don't necessarily have to be high-scoring as Sikandar Raza led Zimbabwe to a narrow one-run triumph over Pakistan in yet another final over thriller.

Raza, like many of his team-mates, failed with the bat as the African side managed to compile 130/8 from their 20 overs and many thought that would be a procession for the talented Pakistan batting line-up led by skipper Babar Azam.

But they didn't count on Raza producing some heroics with the ball and conspiring Zimbabwe to a memorable victory on the back of some unexpected inspiration from Australia legend Ricky Ponting.
