The 4 best ODI centuries in a losing cause since 2010

#1 Kane Williamson (112 vs England, Wellington, 2018)

King Kane so nearly conquered England with a single-handed century of the highest quality

With the series locked at one apiece, England and New Zealand battled out on a difficult surface that had help for both pacers and the spinners. Batting first, England huffed and puffed their way to 234 which given the surface seemed largely competitive.

In the run chase, the Kiwis were reduced to 103-6 and the result seemed a foregone conclusion when Kane Williamson with his impeccable and tight technique was joined by Santner to lead the recovery.

With a solid defence and the odd calculated risks, Kane got New Zealand close to victory with an unthinkable 112* on a pitch where no other batsman from both teams had even reached the half-century mark.

Though he stumbled in the final hurdle having to do it all by himself, this knock by Williamson will go down as one of the greatest one-man innings in cricket.
