Shadab Khan hits maiden century in Pakistan's one-wicket win

Shadab Khan records maiden century in record-breaking chase

Shadab Khan scored his maiden one-day international century during the match. He became only the third batter to record a hundred while batting at number eight or lower.

Shadab finished with an unbeaten century and paired with Haris Rauf for an 89-run tenth-wicket stand. This partnership is a record for successful ODI run-chases.

While on 97, Shadab was initially given out LBW to Gus Atkinson. A review using UltraEdge confirmed an inside edge, which allowed him to continue his innings.

Haris Rauf partners for winning runs

Haris Rauf finished with an unbeaten 7 from 19 balls to support the final chase. He hit the winning runs off debutant Henry Crocombe.

Shadab and Rauf broke the records for last men standing in a match.

Tactical shifts and flashpoints during the match

Pakistan wore pink to support Breast Cancer Awareness Day and chose to bowl first. Haris Rauf engaged in a heated flashpoint with Will Jacks, which required Joe Root to intervene as a peacemaker.

Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi faced criticism for turning to spin too early. He later returned to the attack and broke the stand. He peppered Sam Curran with short balls, causing Curran to hole out.

Arafat Minhas dismissed Ben Duckett with a top-edge that looped up to Salman Agha. Salman later made short work of Overton, while Razaullah caught Dawson off his own bowling. Gus Atkinson added 40 runs for the final wicket, appearing to be the potential difference-maker.
