Catch the list of top run-chase in a day’s international history below.
The Netherlands scripted one of the most memorable victories in ODI cricket on Wednesday, chasing down a daunting 370-run target against Scotland with just four balls to spare. In a high-scoring thriller at Forthill, Dundee, opener Max O’Dowd starred with a match-winning 158* to guide his team to a stunning four-wicket win in the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2.
This remarkable effort is now the third-highest successful run chase in ODI history — a feat that places the Dutch team alongside some of the most iconic limited-overs wins in the game’s history.
