Pakistan defeated England by one wicket in the fourth ODI of the tri‑series on Sunday, October 25, at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium, according to both Sportskeeda and The Independent.

What the reports add

Sportskeeda noted that Shaheen Afridi won the toss and chose to bowl, taking four wickets, and highlighted the match’s meme‑driven social‑media reaction. The Independent emphasized that Khan’s 113 was the highest score ever recorded by a number‑eight batter in ODIs and mentioned a crucial LBW review that Khan survived on 97 runs.

What was said

England captain Harry Brook, quoted by Sportskeeda via Cricbuzz, said the team had done an “exceptional job to restrict them” but “probably didn’t quite get enough runs on the board.” He praised Ben Duckett’s century and the overall fielding effort.
