   It was the first ever Pakistan win over West Indies in a World Cup match played in reliance world cup 1987. Besides, West Indies being two times world champions and three times finalists had their chances of reaching the World Cup semi final very nearly over. Apart from this there was a time where West Indian fast bowler Courtney Walsh could have ran out the Pakistani tail ender Saleem Jaffer, who was standing out of his crease. Nevertheless, the great West Indian fast bowler showed sportsman spirit and only warned Saleem Jaffer to get back to the crease letting go an easy chance of win. This was a remerkable display of sportsman spirit by Courtney Walsh who was appreciated by the Pakistani President Late General Zia ul Haq for showing such a character.
