India vs West Indies, 3rd ODI at Kingstown, St Vincent (1997)
This was India's first tour of the Caribbean in eight years. The West Indies team and the weather frustrated the touring side in equal measure.
India had already lost the Test series 1-0 and the only way to salvage some pride was by winning the ODI series. In the 3rd ODI of the four-match series, India won the toss and elected to field first.
West Indies opener Stuart Williams scored 76 before being dismissed by skipper Sachin Tendulkar. Brian Lara (33) and Carl Hooper (48) also chipped in and the hosts managed to score 249/9 in 50 overs.
Although Tendulkar was removed for 9 runs by Courtney Walsh, it started off as an easy chase for the visitors. Sourav Ganguly (79) and Rahul Dravid (74) added 130 for the second wicket and took India within the range of a comfortable win.
Astonishingly, from 201/3 India were all out for 231 in 48.2 overs. It was one of the classic cases of India's infamous batting collapses in the 90s. Consequently, India were beaten 1-3 in the ODI series.
