The tiers are a fixed grouping of countries, not a rating on the day. Where it was played is only known for the hundreds we have the match record for.
Every hundred
174 v Sri Lanka, Karachi, 2019 · At home · Won
A good ton. The match was won. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.
109* v Sri Lanka, Rawalpindi, 2019 · At home · Drawn
A good ton. A draw against a lower-tier side: a hundred doesn't save a draw against a side like that.
215* v Zimbabwe, Harare, 2021 · Away · Won
A good ton. He made 42% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 0 for 0.
133 v Bangladesh, Chattogram, 2021 · Away · Won
A ton of consequence: carried the innings. In at 0 for 0, 330 behind. He made 47% of the team's 286, and no one else came close. The team won by 8 wickets. As an opener he put on 146 for the first wicket, and the second opener was not out until 217.
