5 Highest run-chases by Bangladesh in ODI World Cup history
Bangladesh have been making steady progress in the game since the last decade.
2. 319 vs Scotland, 2015 World Cup
At the second spot in this list is Bangladesh's memorable victory over Scotland in the 2015 World Cup when they chased down 319. Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza won the toss and elected to bowl first. Scotland responded in style by posting a huge total of 318 for 8 with opener Kyle Coetzer scoring his maiden World Cup ton.
Coetzer scored 156 off 134 balls and although his stunning effort eventually went in vain, he was adjudged the Man of the Match. Chasing 319 runs to win, Bangladesh crossed the finishing line with 11 balls to spare. Opener Tamim Iqbal starred with the bat as the left-handed batsman scored 95 to lay the foundation for the successful chase.
After him, as many as three Bangladesh batsmen - Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Shakib Al Hasan - scored fifties too to play a big role in the memorable win. The win played a big role in Bangladesh's progress ahead of the group stage in the World Cup for just the second time.
