Stats: Bangladesh's greatest comebacks in ODI cricket
Bangladesh's famous win over New Zealand has entered several record books.
Bangladesh needed to win against New Zealand to stay alive in the Champions Trophy and they did it but not before losing their 4 wickets for just 33 runs chasing a stiff target of 266 at Cardiff. The Bangladeshi pair of Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah put on the team’s maiden double century stand in ODIs to see their side home. The two batsmen scoring centuries was only the 6th instance in ODI cricket where two batsmen batting at No.5 or lower scored centuries.
