Ben Duckett made history by scoring the highest individual score (165) in the Champions Trophy 2025, leading England to a total of 351/8 against Australia at the Gaddafi stadium in Lahore. Duckett and Joe Root’s partnership of 158 runs from the sixth to the 31st over set the stage for England’s strong total. Despite Root’s dismissal for 68, Duckett continued to dominate the Australian bowlers, surpassing the previous record for the highest score in the tournament’s history. However, he was eventually dismissed for 165 by Marnus Labuschagne. England’s middle-overs batting performance showcased their improved form as they outplayed Australia in the crucial match. The match saw Phil Salt and Jamie Smith making promising starts but failing to convert them into substantial scores. Australia’s bowlers struggled to contain England’s strong batting display, with Duckett’s exceptional innings being the highlight of the match.
