2. Bangladesh beat India, 2007 ODI World Cup

On March 17, 2007, Bangladesh met India for the first time at a Cricket World Cup, in Group B at Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. Bangladesh won by 5 wickets with 9 balls remaining, defeating a side captained by Rahul Dravid. India subsequently lost to Sri Lanka and exited the tournament without advancing to the Super Eights. Bangladesh, by contrast, qualified from the group stage for the first time, advancing to the Super Eights. The result is cited among the greatest upsets in World Cup history and is credited with prompting a restructuring of future World Cup formats to ensure longer participation from major sides.
