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

  1. 112 v New Zealand, Dubai (DICS), 2014 · Neutral ground · Drawn

    A good ton. A draw, and his side was never in danger of losing, so the hundred didn't save anything.

  2. 109 v Australia, Dubai (DICS), 2014 · Neutral ground · Won

    A good ton. His side already led by 291 when the innings began. He made 24% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 5 for 291.

  3. 103 v Sri Lanka, Colombo (SSC), 2014 · Away · Lost

    A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.

  4. 118 v New Zealand, Karachi, 2023 · At home · Drawn

    A good ton. The match was drawn. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.
