#4 Sourav Ganguly vs Kenya

Sourav Ganguly is one of the most commendable leaders India has ever had. And in his prime, he was a nightmare for any bowling attack.

During the 2003 World Cup, Ganguly was in the form of his life and smacked two centuries against a potent Kenyan unit. In the Super 8 fixture at Cape Town, Ganguly hit an unbeaten 107 to see India home in a chase of 226.

Thereafter, in the semi-final, his 111 not out guided India to a daunting total. India tasted success on both occasions.

#3 Scott Styris vs Sri Lanka

New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris was a tormentor of the Sri Lankan team at the World Cup. Styris scored 4 ODI hundreds in his career out of which two came against Sri Lanka in World Cup cricket.

In 2003, he hit a magnificent 141 in a losing cause during a run-chase where he received very little support from the other end. In the next edition, he took a fair bit of time scoring 111 off 157 balls at Grenada in 2007.

Both of his tons went in vain as Sri Lanka emerged winners on each occasion.
