Mahmudullah 102 not out off 107 balls v New Zealand in Cardiff ICC Champions Trophy 2017

Score on arrival: 33 for 4, chasing 266
Final score: 268 for 5, won by 5 wickets with 16 balls to spare

Bangladesh were routed by England, got a point out of a rain-affected game against Australia and had to win against New Zealand to qualify for the semi-final.
 
They were down and out at 33 for 4 in pursuit of 266, when Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah combined to put together 224 runs, the second-highest for any wicket in Champions Trophy history.

It was another major statement win for a rising ODI power, their second successive progress to the knockout stage after their quarter-final run in World Cup 2015.
