May 19, 1999: Zimbabwe won by 3 runs (World Cup)
Indian Team wouldn’t like to remember this match. Sachin Tendulkar also missed this match because he had gone to Mumbai to attend his father’s funeral. After being put into bat by India, Zimbabwe scored 252 on the board. Flower Brothers were the pick of the batsmen. Grant Flower scored 45 while Andy Flower remained not out for 68.
India lost their 4 overs in batting after Zimbabwe’s innings due to slow over rate. This made them feel the pressure and the men in blue lost the battle by 3 runs. Except Sadagoppan Ramesh, no other batsman scored a fifty.
