Story summary

On October 25, 2026, Pakistan won the toss and elected to field against England in a One-day International tri-series match at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The match saw significant changes in Pakistan's lineup: all-rounder Shadab Khan returned after missing two matches, while Razaullah made his debut. Naseem Shah was out due to a finger dislocation during warm-ups.

In a breast cancer awareness initiative called Pinktober, the Pakistani team wore pink jerseys for the match, alongside match officials and commentators wearing pink ribbons. England lost to Pakistan by one wicket after being restricted to 241 runs despite Ben Duckett's century. Shadab Khan then hit an unbeaten century, scoring 113 off 96 balls with 13 fours and five sixes, securing a dramatic win for Pakistan in the final overs. This victory booked Pakistan’s place in the tri-series final and set a record for the highest 10th-wicket partnership in a successful ODI chase.
