Sri Lanka Completes Second-Highest ODI Run Chase to Beat England by Two Wickets
Sri Lanka achieved the second-highest successful run chase in ODI history by defeating England by two wickets in Rawalpindi during the Pakistan tri-series. Chasing 430, Sri Lanka overcame early setbacks with key innings from Pavan Rathnayake (130), Avishka Fernando (97), Dasun Shanaka (97), and Janith Liyanage (61 not out), who sealed the win with a six off the penultimate ball. England captain Harry Brook scored a record-fastest double century (202 off 116 balls), but his effort was insufficient as Sri Lanka secured a historic victory.
