Sri Lanka staged an incredible fight against England to complete the second highest run-chase in ODI history at Rawalpindi on Thursday. The Kusal Mendis-led side successfully chased a daunting 430-run target with a ball to spare to win the third encounter of the ODI Tri-Series in Pakistan by two wickets.
It was a combined effort by Lanka batters with Avishka Fernando and Pavan Rathnayake leading the initial charge. Both batters combined to add 166 off 137 balls for the third wicket after Sri Lanka were reduced to 24/2 in the 5th over. The partnership was broken by Jamie Overton, who dismissed Fernando caught and bowled on 97(83).
By the time Fernando returned to the pavilion Sri Lanka had recovered well from the initial hiccups but a final push was still required, which was eventually done by Dasun Shanaka and Janith Liyanage.
Rathnayake scored 130 off 106 balls, also the highest individual total among the Lankan batters. Shanaka blasted 97 off 50 balls, while Liyanage returned unbeaten on 61(27), ensuring his side cross the finishing line.
The combined effort also saw Harry Brook's record double ton end in vain. The England captain had smashed 202 off 116 balls earlier in the day, making him the first English batter to complete the milestone. It was also the fastest double century in ODI history.
The highest successful chase in the format remains South Africa’s historic pursuit of 435 against Australia in Johannesburg in 2006, when they reached 438/9 to secure a thrilling one-wicket victory.
England skipper Brook on historic double ton after loss to SL
England skipper Brook said that his knock has "no values in his eyes" after the shocking defeat. "Incredible game of cricket, both teams were exceptional. Sri Lanka just outplayed us. They played exceptional cricket to knock off 400. It was a nice innings but being on the losing side it has no value whatsoever in my eyes. We got to get back to the drawing board a little bit, and we have an opportunity in the next couple of games to nail down a place in the final," he said.
