#3 West Indies, 2007
When the West Indies hosted their first ever World Cup tournament, they were not one of the favourites to win the trophy but considering the fact that it was their captain Brian Lara's last appearance in the even, there was hope that the hosts would spring a surprise or two. 16 teams were placed in 4 groups of 4 teams each and West Indies were clubbed with Ireland, Pakistan and Zimbabwe in Group D.
The hosts started the tournament well and beat Pakistan by 54 runs in the first game. They went on to win all 3 games and topped their group. However, it all fell apart in the Super 8 stage. In the seven games that they played, West Indies lost 5 and won only 2 to finish 6th, ahead of Bangladesh and Ireland.
