Pakistan Match India's 24-Year-Old Lord's Record With Historic 326-Run Chase (AP)
\n\nPakistan scripted history after they pulled off a record 326-run chase in the tri-series final against Sri Lanka. Fakhar Zaman was the cornerstone of the brilliant win and scored 127 in 99 balls to take the team over the line. The southpaw was well supported by Saad Baig, who scored 74, and later 61 by Arahat Minhas, who added a 96-run partnership with Hasan Nawaz, kept Pakistan ahead in the game.
\n\nThe record win meant that the Men in Green matched India's special feat. India held the record of highest chase during an ODI tournament final when they chased 326 in the famous win at Lord's in 2022. Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif helped India pull off one of the greatest chases in history. Now, after 24 years, Pakistan also share the record with the Men in Blue.
\n\nThe likes of Saad Baig, Maaz Sadaqat, Arafat Minhas, and Hasan Nawaz have brought fresh energy to the side. This freshness and fearless attitude, when clubbed with the experience of big guns like Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi, make Pakistan look a high-quality side. It is still early days…
