202 runs. 114 balls. The fastest double century in ODI history. While Harry Brook's explosive innings rewrote the record books for England, Sri Lanka ultimately stole the headlines at the end of yesterday's dramatic encounter in Rawalpindi. By successfully chasing down a daunting target of 430, Sri Lanka registered the second-highest successful run chase in the history of One-Day Internationals. Fueled by sheer dominance from the batsmen of both sides, the match produced a colossal 859 runs, making it the second-highest aggregate score in ODI history.
430 - Sri Lanka's target against England. By overhauling this mammoth total, Sri Lanka achieved the second-highest successful run chase in ODI cricket. The only higher successful chase remains South Africa's legendary pursuit of 435 against Australia in 2006.
429/4 - England's formidable total against Sri Lanka. This marks the first time a team has crossed the 400-run mark in ODIs on Pakistani soil. Pakistan's previous highest total in the country was 375/3 against Zimbabwe in 2015.
202 - Harry Brook's sensational knock against Sri Lanka. He became the first-ever English batsman to score a double century in ODIs, eclipsing the previous English record held by Ben Stokes, who scored 182 against New Zealand in 2023.
First - Brook etched his name in the history books by becoming the first player in ODI history to score a double century in a losing cause. The previous highest individual score for a losing side was Charles Coventry's unbeaten 194 against Bangladesh in 2009.
Second - In List A cricket history, Sri Lanka's historic triumph ranks as the second-highest successful run chase of all time. Notably, four out of the last five instances of teams successfully chasing targets of 400 or more have occurred since December 2025.
859 - The total combined runs scored by both teams in the match, representing the second-highest aggregate score in a single ODI encounter.
