Rauf played his part too, defending when needed and ducking and weaving as England threw everything at him. <!-- -->He hung in there to finish unbeaten on seven, while Shadab dictated terms at the other end. Rauf eventually hit the winning runs and raced away with his arms raised.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>The unbeaten 89-run stand between Shadab and Rauf is now the highest for the 10th wicket in a successful ODI chase. The previous record was an unbeaten 64-run partnership between Deryck Murray and Andy Roberts against Pakistan at the 1975 World Cup.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Shadab scored his maiden ODI century, making 113 off 96 balls in a match-winning effort that turned the game on its head as England let victory slip away.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>The win took Pakistan into the tri-series final.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>England had made a strong start while defending their target, with their bowlers working together to prevent Pakistan from building partnerships. Pakistan lost their top three batters \u2014 Fakhar Zaman (10 off 18), Saim Ayub (6 off 12) and Babar Azam (10 off 12) \u2014 inside the powerplay. England continued to take wickets and reduced the hosts to 154 for 9, but could not get the final breakthrough as Shadab and Rauf guided Pakistan to a memorable win in Lahore.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Earlier, Pakistan captain and fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi took four wickets to restrict England to 241, despite a fighting century from Ben Duckett.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>England, who needed a win to stay in contention for the tri-series after losing their first two matches, struggled to recover after slipping to 19 for 3 on a batting-friendly pitch.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Duckett scored 105 off 111 balls, while Sam Curran made 42 during a 93-run stand for the fifth wicket. Gus Atkinson added an unbeaten 36 towards the end of the innings.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>Shaheen finished with figures of 4 for 46, while ODI debutant Razaullah took 2 for 38 as England were bowled out in 46.4 overs.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/news\/shadab-khan-and-haris-rauf-pull-off-miracle-with-record-89-run-partnership-for-last-wicket-as-pakistan-stun-england-in-lahore\/articleshow\/135194965.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan&#8217;s Shadab Khan and Haris Rauf celebrate after winning the tri-series one-day international cricket match against England, in Lahore, Pakistan, Sunday, Oct. 25, 2026.
