There have been plenty of batters who have been trapped in the 'nervous nineties'. While a lot of them have allowed pressure to get the better of them, at times batters have got complacent and have had to pay the price.

The Asia Cup 2025 is scheduled to commence on September 9. There have been 11 instances where batters have been dismissed while standing at the cusp of a ton. With the continental event arriving around the corner, let us revisit those occurrences.

At one point, Bangladesh were in a crisis situation against Pakistan in Asia Cup 2018. Electing to bat first, they had lost three wickets within the first five overs and were staring down the barrel. Mushfiqur Rahim joined hands with Mohammad Mithun (60 off 84) to put on 144 runs for the fourth wicket.

He was ultimately dismissed in the 42nd over as he tried to drive the ball with an open bat face. However, the ball nipped away and took his edge before going through to the wicketkeeper, as he fell for 99 off 116.
