Brian Lara version👇🏼 Australia v West Indies, WACA 1997

Lara v Warne - An intense battle Brian Lara walked in with the score at 43/2, and by the time he departed, the West Indies had taken control of the match. His innings unfolded like a masterpiece: the first fifty came in two hours, the next in little over an hour, before he launched a stunning assault on Shane Warne, smashing 26 runs off just 14 balls in a breathtaking finish.

Greatest Upset of All Time. #OnThisDay (29th Feb) in 1996, Kenya playing in their first World Cup, bowled out West Indies for just 93 runs in Pune. Kenya pulled off one of the biggest upsets in cricket history, beating the West Indies with a stunning bowling display. After being bowled out for just 166, captain Maurice Odumbe feared the worst. But his bowlers responded brilliantly, dismissing West Indies for only 93 - their lowest total in World Cup history at the time. The collapse began with early wickets from Rajab Ali and Suji, while Brian Lara’s dismissal triggered further panic. Only Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Harper reached double figures, both falling to Odumbe, who took 3 for 15. Rajab Ali sealed the win with the final wicket, sparking jubilant celebrations from the Kenyans and leaving West Indies’ quarter-final hopes in doubt.

A forgettable and depressing match! #OnThisDay in 1999, Australia, led by Steve Waugh, sparked one of the World Cup’s biggest controversies. Chasing a modest target against West Indies at Old Trafford, Waugh crawled to 19 off 73 balls and Michael Bevan made 20 off 69 as Australia scored just 12 runs in the final 10 overs. The deliberate slowdown was aimed at helping West Indies qualify ahead of New Zealand on net run rate, which would have allowed Australia to carry extra points into the Super Six stage. The plan ultimately failed when New Zealand crushed Scotland in their next match, but the game remains one of the most debated tactical moves in World Cup history.

Sachin Tendulkar at his assertive best. #OnThisDay in 1997. Tendulkar punished anything short or wide, smashing a hooked six off Rose and 14 fours before falling for 92 to a sharp gully catch by Campbell - off what replays suggested was a no-ball from Bishop. West Indies v India, Bridgetown.

In a rain-affected match, the West Indies fielders had an off day, dropping five catches off Pakistani batsmen. Chasing 177, Pakistan were cruising towards victory at 116 for 1 in the 28th over, but then they decided to return the favours with five suicidal run-outs. Throwback to the last-over thriller between West Indies and Pakistan at Adelaide Oval in 1992.

When Australia ended West Indies’ 15-year dominance. #OnThisDay in 1995, Australia became the first side in 15 years to defeat West Indies in a Test series - a moment that marked a seismic shift in world cricket. The Australian players celebrated the historic triumph late into the night, but for Steve Waugh, the emotion ran deeper. He famously went to sleep still wearing his whites, socks, and baggy green cap - a reflection of just how much the victory meant to him. That win in Jamaica wasn’t just a series result; it signalled the beginning of a new era for Australian cricket. It was also a defining chapter in Waugh’s career, as his resilience and match-winning 200 became one of the cornerstones of his enduring legacy.
