#4 Faf Du Plessis - 126 (2014, Harare)
The Zimbabwean tri-series involving Australia, South Africa and Zimbabwe in 2014 was one of the highlights of Du Plessis' ODI career, that was possibly going down the drain. He scored a humongous 464 runs in five innings, including three hundreds and a match-winning 96 in the final against Australia.
The 126 came in the Harare ODI where Australia batting first, scored 282 in the allotted 50 overs.
South Africa lost their way in the chase, crumbling to 64/3 at one stage. Du Plessis had been Australia's tormentor since his debut Test series and the trend continued as he dominated an attack running out of ideas to dismiss him. He single-handedly kept South Africa in the game, scoring a brilliant hundred. The fact that the next highest score in the match was McLaren's 24, stood testimony to Faf's terrific knock.
His innings went in vain, however, as South Africa were bowled out for 220. He was the eighth man dismissed, trying to attack in the company of tail-enders.
