Overview
- The match, played on Sunday, saw Pakistan recover from 154‑9 to reach 243‑9 as Shadab Khan finished an unbeaten 113 off 96 balls and Haris Rauf remained 7 not out.
- Shadab and Rauf put on an unbroken 89‑run tenth‑wicket partnership, the highest last‑wicket stand in a successful ODI chase.
- Shadab was given out lbw on 97 but a DRS review detected a faint inside edge and overturned the decision, a moment that decisively kept Pakistan’s chase alive.
- England were bowled out for 241, with Ben Duckett scoring 105, and Shaheen Shah Afridi led Pakistan’s bowling with 4‑46 earlier in the match.
- The win confirmed Pakistan’s place in the tri‑series final and left England with three straight losses and a severely reduced path to qualification, while Pakistan’s players drew public praise from national leaders.
