Janith Liyanage struck a boundary to seal the victory with one delivery remaining.

Despite England captain Harry Brook's record-breaking innings, it proved insufficient.

Harry Brook smashed the fastest double century in ODI history, yet it still wasn't enough for England. Sri Lanka emerged victorious in this extraordinary match, chasing down a target of 430 in Rawalpindi—the second-highest successful run chase in the format's history. Only that legendary 438-run game from two decades ago surpasses it.

Pavan Rathnayake, Dasun Shanaka, and Avishka Fernando stole the spotlight, orchestrating a stunning turnaround for Sri Lanka after they stumbled to 24 for two. Rathnayake top-scored with 130, Fernando contributed 97, and Shanaka—also scoring 97—was the most aggressive of the trio. After being dismantled with the ball, his revenge included eight sixes. None of the three remained at the crease at the finish, as England briefly clawed their way back into contention.
