Australia Pulls Off Record-Breaking Chase to Defeat England in 2025 ICC Champions Trophy Thriller
In a breathtaking showdown at the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy in Lahore, Australia secured a historic five-wicket win over England, completing the highest successful run chase in men’s ICC tournament history.
Batting first, England set an intimidating target of 351/8, powered by a sensational innings from Ben Duckett, who scored a blistering 165 runs — the highest individual score in the tournament’s history. Duckett’s performance put England in a commanding position, leaving many believing the total was out of reach.

His unbeaten 120 off 86 balls anchored the innings, guiding Australia to victory with 15 balls to spare. Inglis’s remarkable knock ensured Australia etched their name in the record books, completing what is now the highest run chase ever achieved in a men’s ICC tournament.
This unforgettable match not only showcased world-class performances but also demonstrated Australia’s resilience and ability to rise to the occasion on cricket’s biggest stage.
