England stunned as Sri Lanka chases 430 after Brook's record ODI knock

In a thrilling one-day international match against England, Sri Lanka successfully chased down a target of 430 runs in Rawalpindi. Harry Brook, the English captain, delivered a magnificent performance by scoring a double-century of 202 runs off just 114 balls. This surpassed the previous record held by India's Shubman Gill, who had scored a double-century in 117 balls. Brook's remarkable innings was the fastest double-century ever recorded in ODI cricket.

Pavan Rathnayake played a crucial role in Sri Lanka's chase, contributing a brisk 130 runs off 106 balls. Janith Liyanage sealed the victory for Sri Lanka with a well-timed six off the last ball, despite England needing six runs to win.
