Champions Trophy 2025: Josh Inglis stars with 120* as Australia smash 356/5 to defeat England (351/8) by 5 wickets to win Match 4

[Devadwal]

England 102/2 in 14 overs

 

[sweep_shot]

Zampa is in the attack.

ENG - 102/2 (14 overs).

 

[Rana]

England and Australia should have been at Pindi road

 

[Devadwal]

Man india should have played the match in pakistan. India batsman would have love This lahore pitch

 

[Rana]

England 102/2 in 14 overs

This is too fast for Pakistan standards as a nation

They may have to get the special forces/commandos involved here to stop this

 

[Rana]

Nahi nahi ab khelo dubai main

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Australia have bowled terribly

 

[Devadwal]

Zampa is here. Now real fun Start

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Australia have bowled terribly

No surprise, they have a terrible bench strength and will get a reality check in every format once Starc and Hazlewood regress due to age. I can' think of one quality bowler apart from the trio (Boland is 35).

 

[Rana]

“Both teams turned up to the ground knowing its going to be a high scoring venue”

That’s the mentality they turn up with. No joker is telling them or whispering in their ear “oh ball might swing, turn or stick” nonsense

They have turned up to BANG! If there is anything in the wicket, well that takes a back seat when both teams have turned up to BANG!

 

[pratiktc]

Australia have bowled terribly

Actually they have done reasonably ok for their talent levels.

For the 82/132 bowler that Ben is he should have gone for 50 min in 5 ovs if not for that freak catch

 

[jamie smith]

eng 113 for 2 after 16 overs.
crr 7.1

 

[jamie smith]

Brook next.
The assault will continue.

zampas spell will be the key.

Pace is one thing. Their lines and lengths haven't been the best .

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Root looking good for his first ODI hundred since 2019

 

[Rana]

200 by 28 overs very likely

England going for a big one here at the moment!

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Pace is one thing. Their lines and lengths haven't been the best .

It's a wafer-thin pace attack. They will find it tough to take wickets on pitches like GSL and Rawalpindi if they don't improve their lines.

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Excellent recovery from England. Must go on to get 350+

Having said that, Australia's reserve seamers are pretty poor

It is club level. It will not trouble any intl team

Mir Hamza and Kashif Ali are a better pair than Ben and Ellis

 

[Bhaijaan]

England effortlessly maintaining a healthy run rate. It’s not even like there’s been a lot of shots being played.

I think it’s been ordinary bowling from
Australia so far.

 

[Rana]

Excellent recovery from England. Must go on to get 350+

England smash their frontline seamers like this too.

They are not that bad

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Ellis is still slightly better than the rest. He has good change-ups and variations which can help him take wickets at the death. But they will be killed in the middle-overs, even if Zampa picks up some of the load.

Yeah too easy for England. This is all they need to do for the next 10-15 overs. If they have wickets in hand they will easily end up with 360+

 

[Devadwal]

England is on the charge .

 

[Rana]

Pakistan nation:

Yaar yeh 150 in 21 overs bhi hota hai?

 

[aboveandbeyond]

England smash their frontline seamers like this too.

They are not that bad

England bats are ruthless against seam in general. It's quality spin that causes major issues, and bar zampa i dont see any quality spin either in the Aussy line up

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan nation:

Yaar yeh 150 in 21 overs bhi hota hai?

Yes in T20 cricket

 

[Rana]

@daytrader @gazza619 @Major @Ahmed216 @Kianig89

What is this obscene batting by England? This is blasphemous ODI batting! ODI is supposed to be a mix of Test and T20 cricket. How are england batting like this?

 

[Major]

@Rajdeep @Bhaijaan @Nikhil_cric @jnaveen1980

Blunder in champion trophy today match.

Organizers played the Indian National Anthem instead of Australia’s before the AUS vs ENG match

Looks like Pakistan is really missing India

Guess if that match was played in UAE @Major and pakistan fan's would have crying about it and called conspiracy theories of BCCI/ ICC.

I bet you lot stood up as soon as you heard the national anthem due to the blind nationalism

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan nation:

Yaar yeh 150 in 21 overs bhi hota hai?

200 in 21 bhi hota hai

 

[Rana]

200 in 21 bhi hota hai

Filhaal the rude awakening is 151

 

[Deewana Mastana]

200 in 21 bhi hota hai

Had Salt not gotten out how and when he did it would've happened

Pakistan’s strategy while chasing is usually to accumulate for 30 overs with 2 to 3 wickets down and then chase 150 to 180 in the final 20 which never works.

Fakhar and saim are 2 outliers rather then the standard norm

Abhi Pakistan aane do. Spencer Johnson will become prime Mitchell Johnson against them

 

[Devadwal]

I bet you lot stood up as soon as you heard the national anthem due to the blind nationalism

After that I laugh so much due to incompetent of Pakistan

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Nope pak will thrash this aussie team eyes closed lol you think zampa will do anything he was taken to cleaners by imam ul haq of all people in lahore.

 

[pratiktc]

Question is when does Duckett pull the trigger?
After over 30 or wait till 35?

 

[jamie smith]

Duckett attacked just 30.7% of the balls today, preferring to rotate strike 59.6% of the times instead at the time of reaching his 50 - both at the extreme ends among his nine 50+ scores.

 

[mominsaigol]

Abhi Pakistan aane do. Spencer Johnson will become prime Mitchell Johnson against them

Pakistan won't qualify to meet aus Their campaign ends tmr. And frankly neither will aus. Eng and sa will go through.

 

[Devadwal]

England can collapsed at any stages so australia shouldn't lose any hope

 

[SpiritOf1903]

DJ Moron as is standard for ICC events.

It is pakistani DJ so Stop blaming anything on ICC

 

[BouncerGuy]

Keep Pakistan out of this thread and talk about ENGLAND VS AUSTRALIA GAME ONLY

 

[SpiritOf1903]

England feasting on 2nd XI here.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

OZ need 4 wickets in the next 12 overs. Or it'll be a massacre at the death

 

[SpiritOf1903]

OZ need 4 wickets in the next 12 overs. Or it'll be a massacre at the death

Where are the wickets coming from ?. England might give one or even two wickets away but even they're not that careless

 

[mominsaigol]

OZ need 4 wickets in the next 12 overs. Or it'll be a massacre at the death

Unpopular opinion but I believe Brooks should have come out at 3. He could have massacred here. Dude loves Pakistan.

Root is the reason England is still stuck on 6.5 rr

 

[pratiktc]

Double it up and pass it on boys

 

[Bhaijaan]

What a sight bro. Looks like Oval cricket ground in England.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

400 on the cards

 

[pratiktc]

Why isn't there a klaxon for the noball?

 

[SpiritOf1903]

What a sight bro. Looks like Oval cricket ground in England.

View attachment 151139

Looks closer to New Road than Oval

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

OZ need 4 wickets in the next 12 overs. Or it'll be a massacre at the death

Gonna be a massacre at the death

 

[Rana]

400 on the cards

This is torture for Pakistan awaam

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Unpopular opinion but I believe Brooks should have come out at 3. He could have massacred here. Dude loves Pakistan.

Root is the reason England is still stuck on 6.5 rr

Not because of conditions. But I do think Brook is the batter who can absolutely dominate all of your bowlers so he should've come in earlier

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Looks closer to New Road than Oval

How? New Road has a capacity of like 4500

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Gonna be a massacre at the death

Yeah . They don't look like they can buy a wicket in the middle overs

 

[Rana]

Big miss not to pick Razor McGurk for this deck!

Australia need a concussion sub for Labushange

 

[mominsaigol]

Not because of conditions. But I do think Brook is the batter who can absolutely dominate all of your bowlers so he should've come in earlier

Naw Brooks in pakistan is Bradman. He's so good pakistan literally created lottery pitches to get rid of him.

People forget that hes the reason why lottery pitches were created. Kinda like body line for Bradman lol.

Dude was avg 100+ in tests on these roads.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Not because of conditions. But I do think Brook is the batter who can absolutely dominate all of your bowlers so he should've come in earlier

Brook can do just as well at both positions whereas Root needs to have ample time to build an innings and therefore needs to be at 3.

 

[mominsaigol]

Brook can do just as well at both positions where as Root needs to have ample time to build an innings and therefore needs to be at 3.

Brooks is Bradman in such conditons. They created lottery pitches to prevent more triple centuries being scored by him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

who is this umpire. It is almost like he got bored and gave it out lol

 

[Rana]

Dodgy Pak umpire doing one for the awaam

Nahi hone denghe 400!!!

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This is torture for Pakistan awaam

No its great. For once, a different team's bowling attack is getting hammered.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Brooks is Bradman in such conditons. They created lottery pitches to prevent more triple centuries being scored by him.

You've got your wish. Perfect situation for Brook to come in

 

[Devadwal]

Root clearly looks a bit upset

 

[FearlessRoar]

Highest partnership against Australia in ICC Champions Trophy

159 - Eoin Morgan & Ben Stokes, Birmingham, 2017
158 - Ben Duckett & Joe Root, Lahore, 2025
140 - Rahul Dravid & Sachin Tendulkar, Dhaka, 1998
140 - Marcus Trescothick Michael Vaughan, Birmingham, 2004
137 - Brian Lara & Runako Morton, Mumbai, 2006

 

[kingusama92]

Brook walking in is a scary sight to see with the score 201-3.

 

[Rana]

No its great. For once, a different team's bowling attack is getting hammered.

But but but 50 overs is meant to be a mix of Test and T20?!?!?

280 is winning scoooorree!

 

[mominsaigol]

Dodgy Pak umpire doing one for the awaam

Nahi hone denghe 400!!!

Naw I would have given it out as well. It looked plumb out hitting in the middle.

Infact I'm surprised it's umpires call and was pitching down leg.

Anyway if you want 400, it's the correct time to bring brooks in. Root is the reason eng have been stuck on 6.4 rr. Infact he literally wasted this entire over lol.

 

[IAJ]

good decision by umpire.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

If anyone can Brook out its Zampa

 

[Rana]

Who was that England fan? Was it a real England fan or a fake one?

 

[IAJ]

But they should be more efficient after the reviews. Embarrassing to wait so long.

 

[Mesozoic]

Anything below 350 will be chased down by Australia.

 

[IAJ]

Who was that England fan? Was it a real England fan or a fake one?

He came from Lincoln to watch England.

 

[Devadwal]

All the four match we have seen a century
