One of the greatest early T20 battles was during the 2007 World T20. India posted 141/9 with Robin Uthappa top-scoring (50 off 39). Pakistan nearly pulled off the chase but it ended in a tie. A bowl-out (a now-retired format) followed, which India won.
In the 2007 final, India defended 157 to beat Pakistan by five runs and became the first T20 World Cup champions.
