Kyle Coetzer scored Scotland's first World Cup century but their tournament hopes was put to an end with a six-wicket loss to Bangladesh in Nelson.
Scotland no longer qualifies for the knockout stages after losing their fourth match out of four in Pool A.
Coetzer's 156 was the best World Cup score by an associate nation batsman and helped his team post 318-8 - their highest score against a Test side.
But Tamim Iqbal (95) led Bangladesh to victory with 11 balls to spare.
It was the second-highest successful run chase in a World Cup game after the 329-7 Ireland managed against England at Bangalore in 2011.
Scotland, meanwhile, face the daunting task of taking on Sri Lanka and Australia in their remaining group matches.
Their chances of a first World Cup victory looked promising after Coetzer brought up his record-breaking century in style by hitting his second six.
