What are some of the awful batting collapses in the history of cricket?

 2014

India vs Bangladesh

This match saw one of the worst batting display from both the teams

India batted first and was bundled out for mere 105. From 55/3 India faltered to 86/9. Some big hitting by Umesh Yadav ensured that India crossed the 100 mark. Defeat was confirmed for India. But what happened was hardly believable considering India was bowling with bowlers like Mohit Sharma, Stuart Binny etc who were not established bowlers at that time.

Bangladesh was 44/2 at one point when Stuart Binny was introduced as bowling change. And from there Bangladesh fell like Nine Pins.

Stuart Binny took 6 wickets and gave away only 4 runs in 4.4 overs, breaking the record of Anil Kumble as the best bowling figures from India (Kumble took 12/6). Bangladesh lost their last 8 wickets for mere 14 runs. They were bundled out for only 58 runs and lost the match by 47 runs. Mohit Sharma took the rest of the 4 wickets.

Stuart Binny was adjusted the Man of the match for taking six wickets. The cumulative total of the match was 163/20.
