Sri Lanka beat England to overcome Harry Brook hitting fastest 200 in ODIs
England captain Brook hits 202 in record ODI time, but Sri Lanka hit a six to win by two wickets with one ball to spare.
Janith Liyanage smashed a six off the penultimate ball as Sri Lanka completed the second-highest successful run chase in ODI history, scoring 430-8 to beat England in Rawalpindi on Thursday.
Needing eight to win off the last over, Sri Lanka lost two wickets to paceman Josh Tongue, but Liyanage kept his cool to achieve an astonishing victory and overshadow Harry Brook’s record-setting knock.
The England captain hit the fastest-ever ODI double hundred, making 202 off 116 balls to propel his team to a mammoth 429-4 after they were put in to bat.
Rathnayake hit 15 fours and three sixes while Shanaka’s blazing knock featured eight sixes and six fours, as Sri Lanka delivered a powerful response to Brook’s earlier masterclass.
