#5 6th ODI at Mumbai, 2002

England v India
A stunning Indian collapse handed England the victory

England toured India for a three Tests and six-match ODI series in 2002. England had won the 5th match of the series by two runs and went into the final ODI with a hope to square the ODI series 3-3. Batting first, England set a target of 256 runs for India. Sourav Ganguly with the help of some important contributions from Sehwag, Mongia, and Kaif kept the team in the hunt. At 3 for 191, India looked set to win the match and the series, but at this point of time Ganguly was dismissed and suddenly Andrew Flintoff triggered a middle-order collapse and India lost the remaining 7 wickets for just 59 runs thereby losing the match by 5 runs.

The match is primarily remembered for the sight of a shirtless Andrew Flintoff running around Wankhede Stadium after winning the match.
