The Indian men's hockey team will look to maintain its winning streak when it takes on England in its next set of matches in the FIH Pro League 2024-25. Craig Fulton's men have been in stirring form and are currently on a three-match winning run.
Even making 351 runs did not prove to be safe for England as a resilient Alex Carey and explosive pair of Josh Inglis and Glenn Maxwell helped Australia secure a five-wicket win at Lahore on Saturday.
Duckett smashed 165 runs, securing the highest-ever individual score in the history of the ICC Champions Trophy, but a century from Josh Inglis eclipsed his effort as his century and assists from Alex Carey and Glenn Maxwell guided Australia to a five-wicket win over England at Lahore.
Inglis registered his name in record books, scoring the joint-fastest century in the history of the ICC Champions Trophy, orchestrating a masterclass finish with Glenn Maxwell to guide the Aussies to a five-wicket win over their arch-rivals at Lahore.
Australia put aside all talks about a potential early exit from the Champions Trophy, with younger talent showcasing top batting form and Glenn Maxwell and Josh Inglis finishing on a high, taking Aussies to the biggest run chase in an ICC ODI event by a team ever.
Within one night, several ICC Champions Trophy and ICC white-ball event records were broken and it was only right that the oldest superpowers of the cricketing world got the right to shatter them.
This is the highest-ever run-chase in any ICC ODI event, outdoing Pakistan's 345 against Sri Lanka at the 2023 Men's Cricket World Cup, and the highest-ever total in ICC Champions Trophy history, outdoing England by a run in this aspect. This is also the second-highest ODI run chase by Austr
While defending a massive total of 352 runs, Mark Wood delivered his first four-over spell within the first 10 overs of the innings, with an average speed of 151.2 kph. He also managed to get the big wicket of Steve Smith that put the Aussies at the backfoot early on.
The Gaddafi Stadium at Lahore witnessed this unexpected mix-up as the portion of Indian national anthem saying "Bhaarat Bhaagya Vidhaata" was played for around two seconds before the ones in charge of playing the national anthem realised their mistake and halted it.
Australia will finally kickstart their CT2025 campaign against arch-rivals England in Lahore. While both sides have displayed woeful ODI form as of late, Australia has not won a match in the Champions Trophy since the 2009 edition when they defended their title.
