In a thrilling start to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Australia secured a remarkable five-wicket victory over England in Lahore. England’s Ben Duckett delivered a standout performance, scoring 165 runs off 143 balls—the highest individual score in Champions Trophy history—and propelling England to a formidable total of 351/8. Despite this, Australia successfully chased down the target with 15 balls to spare, setting a new record for the highest run chase in an ICC tournament. Josh Inglis was instrumental in the pursuit, remaining unbeaten with 120 runs and earning the Player of the Match award.
