Bangladesh's victories over Test-playing nations in ICC tournaments

#7 2017 Champions Trophy vs New Zealand, Cardiff

Mahmudullah remained unbeaten on 102 as Bangladesh entered the semi-finals

In a must-win clash for both teams, Kane Williamson opted to bat on a fine surface. It took an 83-run third wicket partnership between the experienced duo of Williamson and Ross Taylor to bring New Zealand back into the game after a poor start. But the part-time off-spin of Mosaddek Hossain worked wonders as the middle-order struggled to time the ball and ultimately fell going for the big hits. Mosaddek got 3/13 late in the innings that killed the Black Caps’ momentum as they managed merely 265 runs.

Tim Southee then blew away the Bangladeshi top order with three early wickets and Adam Milne struck to have them struggling at 33/4. Just when things seemed bleak came a record ODI partnership for Bangladesh. Seniors Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyadh strung together 224 for the fifth wicket to bewilder New Zealand and the rest of the world.

Both hit memorable centuries – Shakib fell for 114 attempting to finish things off in style but Mahmudullah remained unbeaten on 102 for his third hundred in an ICC tournament. Nothing worked for New Zealand and they had to surrender with over two overs to spare.
