After Joe Root was dismissed after scoring a well-compiled 68 runs, England’s innings continued with Ben Duckett taking charge. Duckett displayed remarkable composure and skill, reaching his third One Day International (ODI) century in 95 balls, highlighting his ability to anchor the innings while maintaining a steady scoring rate. His knock was crucial in stabilizing the team’s position and setting a strong foundation for the remainder of the innings.
As Duckett celebrated his century, he was joined at the crease by Harry Brook at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Brook, known for his aggressive batting style, entered the middle looking to build on the platform set by Duckett and further accelerate the innings. With England aiming for a competitive total, the duo at the crease had a significant role to play in the latter stages of the innings.
