93 fours, 552 boundary runs! All the records as SL pull off historic ODI chase vs ENG

In a historic run-fest in Rawalpindi, Sri Lanka secured a two-wicket victory over England, successfully chasing down England's 429/4 to reach 430/8. This achievement marks the second-highest successful ODI run chase in history, following South Africa's orignal 435-run pursuit in 2006.

The match aggregate of 859 runs, which saw both sides smash 93 fours and 30 sixes, rewrite the record books for boundaries, setting aing new benchmark for total boundary runs (552).

England's Harry Brook, who scored a 202 off 116 balls, became the own first England batter to a double century in an ODI, making it his highest individual score in an ODI defeat. His supporting cast included Joe Root (69), Tom Banton (50), and Will Jacks (66*), which powered England to their massive 429/4.

Sri Lanka's Janith Liyanage and Asitha Fernando celebrated with teammates, as the match aggregate of 859 runs also became the highest match aggregate in a List A game in Asia.
