Shadab Khan’s gutsy ton lifts Pakistan to unthinkable win over England
A powerful century from all-rounder Shadab Khan fired Pakistan to a come-from-behind one-wicket victory over England on Sunday in Lahore in the ongoing ODI tri-series. Shadab, who brought up his maiden century for Pakistan in any format, blasted a sensational knock of 113 unbeaten to lead the side to victory.
Chasing a target of 242, Pakistan lost key players early on that put them under great pressure. However, Shadab rose to the occasion with a tremendously extraordinary innings that totally turned the tide into Pakistan’s favour. At one stage, Pakistan were struggling at 154-9, but Shadab’s heroic performance made it impossible for England to claim victory. He remained exceptionally composed amid a challenging situation, holding the innings together smartly.
Not to forget, Haris Rauf also played a massive part, braving England bowlers and shouldering the responsibility perfectly. Rauf remained unbeaten on 7 off 19. Rauf and Shadab forged an unbroken 89 partnership to frustrate England bowlers. Earlier, Pakistan bowled England out for 241 after asking them to bat. They were guided to a respectable total by Ben Duckett (105), who blazed an outstanding century. Sam Curran also made a valuable contribution, scoring 42 runs down the order.
