Pakistan seemed certain to lose against England in Lahore. Chasing 242 runs to win the one-day international cricket match, Pakistan collapsed to 154 for nine. With nine batters out, Pakistan had only one wicket left and still needed 88 runs. Fans were already leaving the stadium, believing the game was over.
However, batter Shadab Khan and number 11 partner Haris Rauf produced an unbelievable turnaround. Shadab attacked England's bowling, hitting boundaries all over the ground to reach 113 runs, his first century in international cricket. There was intense drama when the umpire gave Shadab out at 97 runs, but a video review showed an inside edge off his bat, allowing him to stay at the crease.
Rauf supported him calmly at the other end and finally hit a boundary to seal a thrilling one-wicket victory. Together, Shadab and Rauf scored an unbeaten 89-run partnership, the highest tenth-wicket partnership in history to win a one-day international run chase.
The dramatic victory guarantees Pakistan a place in the tri-series final. England, who were bowled out for 241 earlier in the day despite a century from Ben Duckett, must now win their remaining match and hope other results go their way to stay in the tournament.
