Shadab Khan's world record century secures thrilling tri-series win for Pakistan

In a dramatic final over, Pakistan secured a one-wicket win over England in the ODI tri-series in Lahore. The hosts had appeared to falter at 154-9 but a stellar century from all-rounder Shadab Khan, coupled with a valiant 7-ball 7 from debutant Haris Rauf, saw Pakistan triumph by the narrowest of margins. Shadab's unbeaten 113 off 96 balls, featuring 13 fours and five sixes, set the stage for a historic final stand of 89 not out with Haris.

This became the highest-ever 10th wicket partnership in successful ODIs and also marked the highest individual score by a batter batting at number eight or lower. England's opener Ben Duckett had put the innings on track with a 105, but the rest of the team faltered against Pakistan's disciplined bowling attack. Captain Shaheen Afridi took 4-46, while debutant Razaullah claimed 2-38.

Despite the wicket loss, Shadab persevered until the last ball when a review confirmed an inside edge had earned a boundary for Rauf. The outstanding partnership of Shadab and Haris left captain Afridi in awe, commending their team effort. England captain Harry Brook, however, praised his team's overall performance, stating they had done their best. England, facing elimination from the tri-series, have now lost all three matches.
