    The Caribbean islands played host to the World Cup in the year 2007. 16 teams participated in the competition, with the teams being divided into four groups of four each. India and Pakistan shockingly exited in the first round of the tournament itself. Bangladesh upset India in the group stage, whereas Pakistan lost a match against Ireland.

    While India and Pakistan bounced back stronger after the early exit in the 2007 ICC ODI World Cup, the following three teams could not bounce back after an early exit from the mega event.

    2. Kenya

    African team Kenya first came into the spotlight when they upset some of the top teams in the 1990s. Next, in 2003, the Kenyan side even qualified for the semifinals of the 2003 World Cup. However, their downfall started soon after. In 2007, Kenya exited in the first round, with only one win in three matches. Kenya played in 2011 WC but never made it to the grand stage again after that.

    3. Canada

    Canada finished last in the Group C points table of the 2007 ODI World Cup. The North American nation lost three matches against Kenya, New Zealand and England. Like Kenya, Canada made it to the 2011 WC, but after that, the Canadian team has not made it to another mega event.
