Its not posssible..Because there is no such lower order player who has made 94......

plenty of number 10s and 11s who have made centuries

Well Peter Smith springs to mind - number 11 for Essex County Cricket Club, believe he holds the record for highest inidividual score at number 11 scoring 163 in two and half hours. Scored another 7 hundreds for essex batting in same position

if the batsman hit the ball and it touches the helmet behind the wicket-keeper,it will add to 5 runs(94+5=99)....the next ball he takes one to score his century.....so one ball left and one run reqd to win.....the other batsman(on 94)hits a six to score his century and makes his team winner.simple.

Don't think it can be done in a normal way - only way I could think of was if the first batsman runs three when an overthrow comes in and goes to the boundary thus a seven - the umpire though calls one run short for a batsman not running his bat in on one of the runs. This would give the first batsman 100. This would also mean that the second batsman is on strike with two balls left 1 run needed and strikes a 6 himself to give him a 100 as well
