A Correct answer
Explanation

India were bowled out for 120 runs in 35 overs against Sri Lanka in the 1996 World Cup semi-final at Eden Gardens. The collapse saw them lose their last 7 wickets for just 22 runs. The correct score is 120/8 (which eventually became 120 all out). This match is infamous for the crowd reaction that forced Sri Lanka to be declared winners by default when India were 120/8.
