#3 Bangladesh vs India, 2007 World Cup
India 191 all out lost to Bangladesh 192/5 (48.3 overs) by five wickets
The 2007 World Cup turned out to be one of India’s most painful memories in the history of cricket, but for Bangladesh, it sort of helped them re-establish themselves as a major cricket-playing nation following a number of disappointing results.
The focus was on how Team India would turn with all the talk of disharmony in the team, especially the bitter battle between coach Greg Chappell and Sourav Ganguly which saw the latter lose his spot as Team skipper before earning his place back in the team with a spectacular tour of South Africa just ahead of the 2007 World Cup.
Ganguly would go on to top score in the Indian innings with 66 while Yuvraj Singh provided the only other notable contribution making 47 runs as India were bundled out for a paltry total of 191 runs. Despite the best efforts of the Indian bowlers, half centuries by Tamim Iqbal, Shakib-al-Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim, who remained unbeaten with a patient 56 off 107 balls, guided Bangladesh home with nine balls to spare and five wickets in hand.
The win saw Bangladesh progress to the Super Eight stages while India exited the tournament following another group stage loss to Sri Lanka.
