Champions Trophy: Inglis Hits Maiden ODI Ton As Australia Hunt Down 352 For Record Win
Josh Inglis: Wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis hit a sublime maiden ODI century to help Australia hunt down a record 352 in 47.3 overs and beat England by five wickets in a run-fest Group B match of the 2025 Champions Trophy at the Gaddafi Stadium here on Saturday.
Australia's task looked uphill after England reached 351/8, thanks to a magnificent 165 by Ben Duckett, which is now the highest-ever individual score in the Champions Trophy. But Inglis held fort to hit an unbeaten 120 off 86 balls, laced with eight fours and six sixes, as Australia now hold the record for the highest successful chase in the history of ICC Men's ODI tournaments, as well as in a men’s ODI game in Lahore.
Inglis was also helped with key contributions from Matthew Short (63), Alex Carey (69), and Glenn Maxwell (32 not out), as Australia reached home with five balls to spare and five wickets in hand, proving yet again why they can never be taken lightly in ICC tournaments.
