5 biggest upsets by Associate nations in ODIs

#2 Kenya vs West Indies (1996)

Kenya vanquished a shell-shocked West Indies lineup during the 1996 World Cup

When a motley crew from Kenya took on West Indies in the 1996 edition of the World Cup, the sparse Pune crowd could be forgiven for envisioning a comfortable victory for the two-time champions. However, what transpired was the least expected result in the fledgling history of the flagship ODI tournament.

On a sluggish surface, Kenya managed to crawl to a middling total of 166. Steve Tikolo's 50-ball 29 was the top score in a rather painstaking batting effort. West Indies' response was bereft of logic. Without accounting for the slow nature of the pitch, the Caribbean stars played careless shots and perished cheaply.

While off-spinner Maurice Odumbe sliced open the middle-order, Rajab Ali's medium pace accounted for batsmen of the calibre of Brian Lara and Richie Richardson. Only two batsmen reached double figures as West Indies collapsed in an embarrassing manner.

Brief Scores: Kenya - 166 from 49.3 overs (Steve Tikolo 29, Roger Harper 3/15, Courtney Walsh 3/46); West Indies - 93 from 35.2 overs (Shivnarine Chanderpaul 19, Maurice Odumbe 3/15, Rajab Ali 3/17)

Result: Kenya won by 73 runs
