  "account": "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.\n\nPavan 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. Brook's record-setting inning was a high point in England's match, which they lost by an alarming 87 runs.\n\nDespite Brook's outstanding performance, England finished the tournament with two consecutive losses. Brook expressed disappointment in the loss, stating that his team needed to win their remaining matches to qualify for the final in Lahore. The defeat has left England at the bottom of the standings, with hopes pinned on a strong performance in the next two games.",
