Josh Inglis made history with his 77-ball century in the Champions Trophy, jointly the fastest in the tournament’s history, overshadowing Ben Duckett’s record-breaking 165. Duckett and Joe Root’s partnership set England up for a 300-plus total, but Australia successfully chased it down thanks to Inglis and Alex Carey’s 146-run stand. This victory marked Australia’s first win in the Champions Trophy since 2009. Despite a strong start by England’s bowlers, Australia managed to maintain a steady scoring rate, with Inglis and Carey taking on the spinners to keep the runs flowing. Inglis reached his half-century, and Carey was on track to do the same before Archer’s unsuccessful return to the bowling attack. Glenn Maxwell’s quickfire innings sealed the win for Australia with five wickets and 15 balls to spare. The final score was England 351/8, Australia 356/5. This thrilling match showcased the talent and determination of both teams in the Champions Trophy 2025.
