ICC Champions Trophy: Top 5 highest successful run chases

#4 England vs South Africa, 1998 – Dhaka

It was the inaugural ICC Champions Trophy and it was known as the ICC Knockout Cup back then. There were no preliminary rounds in the tournament with eight teams taking part with a direct knockout.

England and South Africa took on each other in the first quarter-final of the tournament held in Dhaka. After winning the toss and opting to bat first, England put on a highly respectable total of 281 with the loss of seven wickets.

While most of the top order failed, lower order batsman Adam Hollioake smashed his way to a knock of 83 in 91 balls.

In response, almost all the South African batsmen performed well and won the match comfortably with more than three overs to spare. The Proteas went on to win the tournament – their first ICC tournament win.
