Liyanage seals victory with final-ball six
Record-breaking hundred from England skipper falls short
Harry Brook blazed his way to the quickest double century in ODI cricket, yet it proved insufficient for England. Sri Lanka emerged triumphant in this extraordinary match, successfully chasing a target of 430 in Rawalpindi — the second-highest successful run chase in the format's history. Only the legendary 438-run game from two decades ago surpasses this achievement.
Pavan Rathnayake, Dasun Shanaka and Avishka Fernando took center stage, orchestrating a remarkable turnaround for Sri Lanka after they stumbled to 24 for two. Rathnayake led the scoring with 130, Fernando contributed 97, while Shanaka — also making 97 — delivered the most aggressive performance. After being dismantled with the ball earlier, his revenge came in the form of eight sixes. None of the three remained unbeaten at the end, as England briefly clawed their way back into contention.
