Another tri-series between three Test-playing nations which was hosted in unfamiliar conditions was the 1999 ODI challenge. The Kallang Ground, Singapore hosted the short tri-series consisting of four ODIs between India, West Indies, and Zimbabwe.

In the only round, West Indies defeated both the teams comfortably. In the match between India and Zimbabwe, India won by a mammoth margin of 117 runs in a 30-over encounter. Sachin Tendulkar's 85(72) and Ajay Jadeja’s 88(61) catapulted India to 245/6 in just 30 overs and Indian bowling did the rest.

The final between India and West Indies was washed out on day one and was restarted on the following day. Rahul Dravid’s 103* taking India to 254/6 was bettered by Ridley Jacobs whose smashing 124(93) handed WI the series win.

Similar series was played the next year in 2000 with South Africa, New Zealand, and Pakistan participating. South Africa won the series and the Singapore Challenge was discontinued thereafter.
