Zaheer Khan tried to recover the innings for India

The 2007 World Cup remains one of the most disappointing memories among Indian cricket fans and it was encapsulated with the defeat against Bangladesh at Port of Spain. It is no surprise that the batsmen failed to such a degree that tailenders Zaheer Khan and Munaf Patel ended up with the record for the highest tenth-wicket partnership in India's World Cup history.

India had collapsed to 149 for 9 in the 46th over when Zaheer Khan and number 11 Munaf Patel came together. The pair tried their best to hang around as long as they could so that India could have something to bowl at.

The resistance ended off the third delivery in the 50th over but as they had added 32 by then. Both the batsmen made 15 and hit two fours apiece. India lost the game by five wickets and were eventually knocked out in the group stages.
