Worst 5-wicket collapse in World Cup

[DesiChap]

We have to pole position now after the debacle against Bangladesh. After early hiccups Sourav Ganguly and Yuvraj Singh put the Indian innings on track and set a launching pad for the final assault, but the Indians somehow lost the plot, in Saturday's World Cup match against Bangladesh. From a position of 157 for four India slipped to 159 for nine in just 16 legitimate deliveries, losing five wickets while adding just two runs !! This is now the worst five-wicket collapse in the history of the World Cup.

Re: Worst 5-wicket collapse in World Cup Yar why such depressive threads? Start a thread about India's highest one day score as that is what we need today :wtg:
