Bangladesh would have been engulfed in insecurity over their quarter-final chances - they had to make 319 runs without their regular opener. What transpired in Nelson though was them beating Scotland by six wickets, keeping themselves in contention and finding out that they can successfully chase a stiff target on a big occasion.
Scotland, powered by Kyle Coetzer's magnificent 156 towards their 318 for 8 in 50 overs, lost their best chance to win a World Cup match. They struggled to break partnerships and seize the momentum, as Bangladesh completed only their third 300-plus chase, the last one coming against New Zealand in November 2013.
