Brendon McCullum's knock against Bangladesh in 2012 turned the game on its head, with his century helping the Kiwis securing a comfortable win in 2012.

South Africa's Rilee Rossouw took just 52 deliveries to score a ton against Bangladesh in 2022.

Ahmed Shehzad's century in 58 balls was a remarkable display of power-hitting against Bangladesh in 2014. The innings included 10 fours and 5 sixes.
