Sri Lanka records second-highest successful ODI chase to beat England in Tri-series match

Sri Lanka achieved a historic victory in their Tri-series encounter against England, successfully chasing a target of 430 runs with just one delivery remaining. This performance marks the second-highest successful run chase in the history of one-day international cricket.

Pavan Rathnayake led the charge with 130 runs, supported by Avishka Fernando and Dasun Shanaka, who each contributed 97 runs to overcome early losses of Kamindu Mendis and Kusal Mendis. England had set a formidable total after Harry Brook became the first English player to hit a double century in this format, reaching 202 runs in record time.

Contributions from Tom Banton, Joe Root, and Will Jacks further bolstered the English innings to their fourth-highest total ever.
