Top 10 greatest upsets in ODI cricket

4. Bangladesh vs India (Port of Spain – 2007 World Cup)

Bangladeshi Cricketer Mushfiqur Rahim (L) celebrates his team’s victory over India as Indian Cricketer Munaf Patel (R) looks on, following their group stage match at the Queen’s Park Oval stadium in Port of Spain,Trinidad and Tobago

This defeat still rankles hundreds of Indian cricket fans – even more than Javed Miandad’s last-ball six off Chetan Sharma. It also brought to the fore simmering issues between coach Greg Chappell and some of the senior players in the Indian team.

Choosing to bat first after winning the toss, skipper Rahul Dravid was made to rue his decision when Bangladesh pacer Mashrafe Mortaza wrecked the batting line up in style, grabbing 4/38, while the spinners choked the flow of runs, forcing the Indians to play their shots. Southpaws Sourav Ganguly (66) and Yuvraj Singh (47) were the chief scorers for India, and a 32-run last-wicket partnership enabled them to reach 191.

Any hopes of early wickets went down the drain as Tamim Iqbal launched a scathing attack on the Indian bowling, smashing 7 fours and two sixes in a quickfire 51. Shakib al-Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim then joined hands for a match-winning 84-run stand, before the Bangladeshi wicket-keeper smashed Munaf Patel through the covers for the winning boundary to trigger wild celebrations at the Queen’s Park Oval.
