West Indies wins Champions Trophy

1988 - Giant paceman Curtly Ambrose bowled the West Indians to a narrow 11-run victory over Pakistan to win the Sharjah Champions Trophy cricket tournament for the third successive time. Put to bat, the West Indies scored a respectable 235 for six wickets and then bowled out Pakistan for 224 in 49.4 overs under the gloom of the falling darkness. Ambrose put the skids under the Pakistani batsmen from the outset by removing both openers Mudassar Nazar and Rameez Raja with deadly yorkers while the score was only 20.
