Unforgettable moments when minnows caused an upset in ODI World Cup history

Kenya had a dream run in the 2003 World Cup, which they co-hosted with South Africa and Zimbabwe. New Zealand refused to tour Kenya, forfeiting their match and giving four points to the opponents. Then Kenya faced Sri Lanka, who won the toss and chose to bowl.

Opener Kennedy Otieno scored 60 and with Hitesh Modi and Maurice Odumbe scoring 29 runs each, Kenya posted 210/9. Chaminda Vaas took 3 wickets and Muttiah Muralitharan took 4/28. It was certainly not a match-winning total, but at least the bowlers had something to fight with.

Martin Suji gave the perfect start by clean bowling Sanath Jayasuriya. And then Collins Obuya's show began. He picked wickets of Hasan Tillakaratne, Aravinda de Silva, Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara, and Chaminda Vaas, to finish with 5/24. Other Sri Lankan batters faltered as well under pressure and Lankans were bowled out for 157 runs.

Kenya won by 53 runs in the end and thanks to these results qualified for the Super 6s and the semi-finals.
