> At 154 for 9 chasing 242, Pakistan looked beaten. Shadab Khan's maiden ODI hundred and Haris Rauf's 18-ball vigil turned it into the best last-wicket rescue in a successful ODI chase.

**Pakistan beat England by one wicket at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on Sunday 25 October 2026, and are through to the ODI tri-series final on Saturday 31 October.** Chasing 242, Pakistan were 154 for 9 when Haris Rauf walked out to join **Shadab Khan**. The pair added an unbeaten **89 for the tenth wicket**, and Shadab finished on **113 not out off 96 balls** (13 fours, five sixes), his maiden ODI century, as Pakistan reached **243 for 9 in 47.1 overs**, [Dawn reported](https://www.dawn.com/news/2039708/shadab-khans-maiden-odi-century-steers-pakistan-into-tri-series-final-after-).

Dawn says the stand is the highest for the tenth wicket in any successful ODI chase, beating the previous best of 64. Rauf's job was simple and brutal: survive. He faced 18 balls and left the scoring to Shadab.

## How the chase nearly fell apart

England's new-ball pair struck early. Fakhar Zaman (10), Saim Ayub (6) and Babar Azam (10) were all out inside seven overs. Saad Baig counter-attacked with 32 off 22 balls, but when Arafat Minhas fell for one, Pakistan were **103 for 5** and Shadab, back in the side after missing the first two matches, came in.

Salman Ali Agha (26 off 49) stayed with him for a while, then wickets kept falling at the other end. Jamie Overton took three wickets, and Gus Atkinson and Liam Dawson two each, [Business Recorder reported](https://www.brecorder.com/news/40445856/shadabs-century-powers-pakistan-to-thrilling-one-wicket-win-over-engla). From there, Shadab farmed the strike, hit the boundaries and got Pakistan home with about 17 balls to spare.

## England's 241

Earlier, captain **Shaheen Shah Afridi took 4 for 46**, and his first-over wicket of Tom Banton was his 150th in ODIs. England were bowled out for **241 in 46.4 overs** despite **Ben Duckett's 105 off 111 balls**, his first ODI hundred against Pakistan. Sam Curran made 42 and Gus Atkinson an unbeaten 36 with three sixes. Debutant left-arm quick **Razaullah** took two wickets, and Arafat Minhas removed Duckett.

| Scorecard | |
| --- | --- |
| England | 241 all out (46.4 overs): Duckett 105, Curran 42, Atkinson 36*; Shaheen 4-46, Razaullah 2 wickets |
| Pakistan | 243 for 9 (47.1 overs): Shadab 113*, Saad Baig 32, Salman Agha 26; Overton 3 wickets |
| Result | Pakistan won by one wicket |
