ICC Champions Trophy: Australia find an Inglis hero in record chase against England
Josh Inglis delivered a spectacular, match-winning century, propelling Australia to a thrilling five-wicket victory against England in Lahore. Inglis’s unbeaten 120* off 86 balls, characterized by powerful sixes in his favored scoring zone, guided Australia to chase down a daunting 352 with 15 balls to spare.
A graphic during the broadcast highlighted Inglis’s tendency to score heavily between point and midwicket, and he capitalized on this strength, hitting three crucial sixes in that region. His innings featured powerful shots against England’s pace attack, including Brydon Carse and Jofra Archer. Inglis’s pivotal 146-run partnership with Alex Carey (off just 116 balls) proved decisive in overturning England’s strong position.
England had a crucial opportunity to break the partnership when Alex Carey offered a catch to Jofra Archer at deep midwicket. However, Archer dropped the catch, a costly error that shifted the momentum. Carey and Inglis then capitalized, hitting boundaries off Archer’s subsequent over, further solidifying Australia’s comeback. (READ MORE)
