Each cricketing nation is no stranger to upsets wins, and losses. For minnow sides, dismantling one of the game's best XIs comes around like a blue moon.
From Ireland to Zimbabwe, Bangladesh to Kenya, some of the smaller nations have chalked up some of the biggest wins ever seen on a cricket field.
Here we look at five of the most famous wins from minnow nations.
3. Bangladesh defeats India and a nation is united
In the lead-up to the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies, Bangladesh was in a state of turmoil. Planned elections had been abandoned and a military junta had taken over. Yet, in their first game, against arch-rivals India, the cricket team showed little sign of these difficulties.
Bangladesh's fastest ever bowler, Mashrafe Mortaza, tore into the experienced top order of Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid, finishing with figures of 4/38. From the other end, the retiring left-arm off-spinner, Mohammed Shafique, picked up 3/58. India were 9/159. Even a mighty tenth-wicket partnership by Zaheer Khan and Munaf Patel only managed to get them to 191. Bangladesh started to believe.
The mood soon went from belief to euphoric disbelief, however, as Mushfiqur Rahim (56 off 107) and Tamim Iqbal (51 off 53) led the way to victory. When they surpassed India's total with nine balls to spare, the millions of Bangladeshis watching back at home let out a collective roar. Defying a curfew, they celebrated late into the night. In the darkest hour, hope was renewed.
Significantly, many of the stars in the match were incredibly young. Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan were only twenty while Tamim Iqbal was only seventeen. These players would not only go on to lead Bangladesh out of the group stage for the first time but into the greatest period of success in their history.
