Shadab Khan Dedicates Historic England Win to Mother and Wife After Maiden Century

Shadab Khan dedicated Pakistan’s one-wicket victory over England to his mother and wife after scoring his first international century. His unbeaten 113 and record-breaking partnership with Haris Rauf rescued Pakistan from a near-certain defeat in Lahore on October 25, 2026.

Shadab shared the dedication on X, thanking the two women in his life and highlighting Haris Rauf’s contribution to the victory.

England Set Pakistan a Target of 242 Runs

England scored 241 runs before losing all 10 wickets in 46.4 overs in the fourth match of the Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka ODI tri-series at Gaddafi Stadium.

Ben Duckett led England’s innings with 105 off 111 balls. Sam Curran added 42, helping England recover after Pakistan reduced them to 52 for four. Shaheen Shah Afridi took four wickets for 46 runs, while Arafat Minhas and Razaullah claimed two wickets each.

Pakistan’s chase faltered as England’s bowlers kept taking wickets. Saad Baig scored 32 and Salman Ali Agha made 26, but Pakistan slipped to 154 for nine in 33.5 overs while chasing 242.

Shadab and Haris Rauf Complete Record-Breaking Chase

Shadab remained unbeaten on 113 off 96 balls, hitting 13 fours and five sixes. He found a crucial partner in Haris Rauf, who scored seven not out as the pair added an unbroken 89 runs for the final wicket.

The partnership set a record for the highest 10th-wicket stand in a successful men’s ODI run chase. Pakistan finished on 243 for nine in 47.1 overs, winning by one wicket and securing a place in the tri-series final.

Shadab also became the first Pakistan batter to score an ODI century at No. 8 or lower, according to the Pakistan Cricket Board.
