The 2025 Champions Trophy saw Australia break a record for the highest chase in ICC tournaments, as they successfully chased down 352 runs against England in Lahore. This surpassed the previous record held by Pakistan, who chased 345 runs against Sri Lanka in the 2023 World Cup. The match also saw Australia set a new team total record of 356/5, surpassing England’s score of 351/8 earlier in the day. Ben Duckett’s innings of 165 runs became the highest individual score in Champions Trophy history. Additionally, Josh Inglis’s maiden ODI century off 77 balls tied the record for the fastest century in Champions Trophy history. Australia’s victory marked their first win in the Champions Trophy since 2009, after going winless in the 2013 and 2017 editions. The match also witnessed 16 sixes, equalling the record for the most sixes hit in a Champions Trophy contest. The match witnessed a total of 707 runs being scored, making it the second highest aggregate in an ODI on Pakistani soil. The highest aggregate of 709 runs was achieved during a match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe in Lahore in 2015. A similar total of 707 runs was also recorded during a recent contest between Pakistan and South Africa in the tri-series in Karachi. This impressive display of batting prowess showcased the high-scoring nature of the match. The information was originally published by Cricbuzz.
