#5 Gwalior, Against Kenya, 1998, Lost by 69 runs

Maurice Odumbe top scored for Kenya as India collapsed to a 69-run defeat

There was a time when the Kenyan team had some stars and were on an upward curve, reaching the pinnacle under the coaching hand of Sandeep Patil in 2003 World Cup, which they co-hosted. But five years before that, they got a big boost through their giant killing act. The World Cup semi-finalists were humbled in their own den and how.

Batting first, Kenya put 265 on the board with Maurice Odumbe, top-scoring with 83 off just 91 balls. The Indian batting order was solid but were never in the chase once they lost Sachin Tendulkar in the ninth over.

Before they knew, India stumbled from 62 for two to 106 for five. There were some lower order partnerships but none of them helped as India hurtled along for a 69 run defeat, all out for 196 in 47.1 overs, giving Kenya one of their greatest ODI moments.
