1998: South Africa won the toss and chose to field and despite an attacking 100 from opener Philo Wallace who scored, they were bowled out for just 245 in 49.3 overs as Jacques Kallis produced a fine exhibition of reverse swing bowling. In reply, South Africa were never really stretched and won their only ICC trophy. West Indies 245 in 49.3 overs (P Wallace 103, C Hooper 49; H Cronje 2-44, J Kallis 5-30) lost to South Africa 248 for 6 (M Rindel 49, J Kallis 37, H Cronje 61) by four wickets at Bangabandhu Stadium, Dhaka.
2000: New Zealand won the toss and chose to field and it looked like the move had backfired as India were coasting at 141 for no loss in 26 overs. Sachin Tendulkarthen got run out for 69 and that seemed to strangle Ganguly's men. Despite the captain's sublime hundred, India struggled to get momentum in the end overs and could score just 264. On a smallish ground, it was a tough score to defend. Chris Cairns hit a strokeful unbeaten 102 and together with Chris Harris (46) took the Kiwis home. India 264 for 6 in 50 overs (S Ganguly 117, S Tendulkar 69; S Styris 2-53) lost to New Zealand 265-6 in 49.4 overs (C Cairns 102, C Harris 46; V Prasad 3-27, A Kumble 2-55) at Nairobi.
