New Zealand vs India at Eden Park, Auckland on January 25, 2014: For 99 overs India were out of the match. But in the last six deliveries of the night, with 18 required for an unlikely victory, Ravindra Jadeja almost pulled off a miracle by smashing Corey Anderson for two fours and a six.

Those timely hits, plus a couple of questionable wides, and the singles that Jadeja and last-man Varun Aaron scampered off them, ensured that the game ended with honours even.
