[1] The tournament was held in Canada, which was seen as perfect neutral territory for India and Pakistan to play each other.

During the 2nd ODI, spectator Shiv Kumar Thind, an Indian living in Toronto, used a megaphone to shout abuse at Pakistan batsman Inzamam-ul-Haq.

Thind likened Inzamam's physical size to that of several kinds of potato and Buddha (an old man).

The event subsequently caused a 37-minute delay in the game and later resulted in both men filing charges of assault against one another.

Thind and ul-Haq later withdrew the charges, although the Pakistan Cricket Board banned Inzamam for two matches.
