World Cup 2015: Trivia following the match between Bangladesh and Scotland

Bangladesh defeated Scotland by 6 wickets in a Pool A match at Napier on Thursday. Here is some trivia following the game.

1) This is Scotland's 12th straight loss at the World Cup. They have not won a single match so far.

2) 319 is Bangladesh's highest successful run chase in ODI history.

3) England are left in a precarious position as a result of Bangladesh's win. Bangladesh have two games in hand - against England and New Zealand. England on the other hand have Bangladesh and Afghanistan left. Given that Bangladesh are on 5 points and England on 2, England must win both games to get into the quarterfinals. Bangladesh on the other hand need to beat just one of the two sides. The Bangladesh-England match thus becomes a virtual pre-quarterfinal knockout game.

4) Kyle Coetzer's 156 is the highest World Cup score by a non-Test playing nation.

5) Tamim Iqbal's 95 is the highest score by a Bangladeshi player in a World Cup. The previous best was Mohammad Ashraful's 87 in Bangladesh's win against South Africa during the 2007 World Cup.

6) This is the first time Bangladesh have chased down over 250 runs in a World Cup.

7) 318 is Scotland's highest World Cup total.
