120 vs WI, Bridgetown, 1997
CHASING a mere 120 for victory, India sense their first win in the Caribbean since 1976, the visiting batters collapse like a house of cards. WI’s speedsters rule on a pitch offering uneven bounce and lateral movement. Right-arm pacer Ian Bishop’s 4-22 and three-wicket hauls by Curtly Ambrose and Franklin Rose see India bundled out for 81, losing by 38 runs.

NZ spinners Ajaz Patel and Glenn Phillips combine to claim nine wickets in the second innings as the hosts are skittled for just 121 despite a fighting 64 by Rishabh Pant. The win ensures the Kiwis pull off a stunning feat — whitewashing India for the first time at home.
