Sri Lanka Wins Toss, Fields Against England in Pakistan Cricket Tri-Series
Duckett hit 24 boundaries in 132 balls as England built a 386-5 total in a match after they were eliminated from the tri-series final race.
- On Thursday, England batted first in the 6th ODI against Sri Lanka at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore after Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field.
- England enters this match already eliminated after losing three consecutive games, including a failed defense of 430 runs against Sri Lanka last week. Pakistan and Sri Lanka secured final spots.
- Opener Ben Duckett scored 167 runs, his highest one-day international mark, anchoring England to 386 for five. He added 163 with Tom Banton and 107 with captain Harry Brook in dominant partnerships.
- Commentator Waqar Younis noted the firm Gaddafi Stadium pitch assists fast bowlers early; visible cracks suggest spinners will dominate later as the match progresses and the surface deteriorates.
- Saturday's final will pit Sri Lanka against Pakistan, with Sri Lanka carrying confidence from an eight-wicket victory over their opponents earlier in the series.
