Despite being an inconsequential match for both West Indies and England, the last Super Eight game of the 2007 World Cup at Bridgetown's Kensington Oval witnessed a full house. The crowd which turned up to watch Brian Lara in action for the last time in international cricket, were treated to a thrilling encounter with England defeating West Indies by one-wicket with a ball to spare.

Chasing West Indies' 300 all out, skipper Michael Vaughan's 79 gave England a sound start before three direct-hit run outs threatened to derail their chase. England were struggling at 189-6, setting the stage for West Indian captain Lara to bow out on a winning note.
