Brook Smashes Fastest Double Century in Men’s ODIs as England Score 429-4 Against Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka completed the second-highest successful ODI chase after Pavan Rathnayake’s 130 and Janith Liyanage’s unbeaten 61 overhauled England’s 429-4.
- On Thursday, Sri Lanka scripted a remarkable victory over England in Rawalpindi, chasing down 430 to complete the second-highest successful run chase in ODI history, winning by two wickets.
- Powered by captain Harry Brook's record-breaking 202 off 114 deliveries, England posted 429/4, establishing the highest one-day international total ever recorded on Pakistan soil.
- Recovering from 24/2, Sri Lanka relied on Pavan Rathnayake's 130 and matching 97-run knocks from Avishka Fernando and Dasun Shanaka to maintain aggressive momentum throughout the chase.
- Janith Liyanage sealed the win by hitting a six on the penultimate ball, finishing unbeaten on 61 from just 27 deliveries to guide Sri Lanka past the daunting target.
- Historically, this performance sits only behind South Africa's 438/9 against Australia in Johannesburg in 2006, while the result leaves England facing pressure in the ongoing tri-series.
