Highest successful run-chases
Rajneesh Gupta
December 12, 2005

In the third and final match of Chappell-Hadlee Trophy New Zealand [Images] registered a remarkable win over world champions Australia.

Chasing Australia's mammoth total of 331 for 7, New Zealand needed 74 runs from last 7 overs with only 2 wickets remaining.

New Zealand had let the second match of the series slip away from their grip in a much better position, but wicket-keeper McCullum and skipper Vettori displayed a grand exhibition of big-hitting and helped New Zealand achieve the target with one over still remaining.

New Zealand's victory is the highest ever successful chase in the history of one-day internationals as is evident from the following table:
