The Kiwi opener reached the mark in the Pakistan Tri-Series match against South Africa at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. Conway played an impactful knock as the Black Caps attempted to chase down 305.

Knock
Conway falls three runs short
Conway added a 50-run opening stand with Will Young before the latter departed. The former, along with Williamson, made the run-chase a one-sided affair thereafter. They took NZ past 230 in less than 40 overs. While Williamson counter-attacked and completed his ton, Conway fell three runs short. He smacked a 107-ball 97 (9 fours and 1 six), wit Junior Dala ending his century bid.
