Though England galloped to the high score of 351 runs being asked to bat first in the Champions Trophy match at Lahore, Australia ran that target down with 15 balls to spare \u2026. aided by a century from Inglis and quick-scoring contributions from Alex Carey and Glenn Maxwell.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, plenty of reverse sweeps, dilscoops and\u00a0 other scoop\/sweeps and driving and hitting was winesses by the large crowd present.<\/span><\/p>\n

Australia<\/b>\u00a0356 for 5 (Inglis 120*, Carey 69, Short 63, Rashid 1-47) beat\u00a0England<\/b>\u00a0351 for 8 (Duckett 165, Root 68, Dwarshuis 3-66, Labuschagne 2-41, Zampa 2-64) by five wickets<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
Ben Duckett<\/a>\u00a0provided the ruthlessness England so desperately craved with a record knock of 165. But his heroics went in vain as\u00a0Josh Inglis<\/a>\u00a0countered by pummelling a lacklustre England pace attack and powering Australia to the highest successful chase in men\u2019s ICC tournament history.<\/span><\/div>\n
The first match at an ICC event in Lahore since March 1996 saw batting completely dominate this Champions Trophy blockbuster with little margin for error for the bowlers on such a benign surface.<\/span><\/div>\n
With a mixture of inventive strokes and meaty backfoot blows, England-born Inglis hit his maiden ODI century to finish unbeaten on 120 from 86 balls as Australia reached the target of 352 with relative ease in the 48th over. England\u2019s bowlers struggled to handle the dew under lights, with Australia achieving their second-highest successful ODI chase after their 359 for 6 against India in Mohali in 2019.<\/span><\/div>\n
It was a bitter disappointment for England, who now face must-win games against Afghanistan and South Africa. They ultimately will rue falling a little bit short with the bat, but Duckett\u2019s magnificent 165 off 143 was the highest individual score in Champions Trophy history. He received strong support from Joe Root, who made a crisp 68 in a third-wicket partnership of 158.<\/span><\/div>\n
Even though no other batter scored more than 25 runs, England still compiled the highest-ever total in the tournament and took full toll on the least experienced Australian attack at an ICC ODI event since 1983. They were without frontline quicks Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, while seam-bowling allrounders Cameron Green, Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis are also missing.<\/span><\/div>\n
However, the result was not a fait accompli on this flat surface, with Australia boasting a deep batting line-up. Australia\u2019s innings mirrored England\u2019s with two early wickets after Travis Head and stand-in captain Steven Smith fell in the powerplay.<\/span><\/div>\n
Having blazed an unforgettable century the last time he was sighted at a 50-over ICC event, Head loomed as the key but on 6 his swipe hit the toe-end of the bat and Jofra Archer held a sharp return catch.<\/span><\/div>\n
Smith could only edge to slip a hard-length delivery from speedster Mark Wood, who was in great rhythm and consistently hitting speeds of 150 kph. But\u00a0Matthew Short<\/a>\u00a0and Marnus Labuschagne rallied with a 95-run stand as they took a particular liking to wayward quick Brydon Carse.<\/span><\/div>\n
Short overcame a lean run of form by superbly using the pace of England\u2019s quicks but legspinner Adil Rashid bowled a brilliant spell in combination with Liam Livingstone that squeezed the batters.<\/span><\/div>\n
