Shadab Khan struck an unbeaten 113 as Pakistan recovered from 154-9 to defeat England by one wicket in Lahore on Sunday and secure a place in the ODI tri-series final.
Chasing 242, Pakistan lost Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam for 10 apiece, while Saad Baig made 32 and Salman Ali Agha added 26. England’s bowlers appeared to have decided the match when the hosts lost their ninth wicket in the 34th over, still needing 88 runs.
Shadab then combined with Haris Rauf for an unbroken 89-run final-wicket partnership, the highest 10th-wicket stand in a successful ODI chase. Shadab’s career-best innings, which included 13 fours and five sixes from 96 balls, was also the highest ODI score by a batter at No. 8 or lower. Rauf finished seven not out from 19 deliveries.
Shadab was given out lbw to Gus Atkinson late in the chase but successfully reviewed the decision after replays showed an inside edge. He subsequently reached his maiden ODI century before Rauf hit debutant Henry Crocombe for the winning boundary. Pakistan finished on 243-9 in 47.1 overs, with 17 balls remaining.
Earlier, Ben Duckett made 105 as England recovered from 52-4 to post 241 in 46.4 overs. Sam Curran scored 42 and Atkinson was unbeaten on 36. Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi took 4-46, while Jamie Overton led England’s bowling with 3-43.
