Australia secured a thrilling victory against England in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match held on February 22 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Despite missing several key players due to injuries and retirements, Australia, under the leadership of Steve Smith, showcased remarkable resilience.

Josh Inglis emerged as the star of the match, scoring a crucial century that propelled Australia to chase down England`s formidable total. England`s Ben Duckett delivered a stunning performance with a heroic 165 runs, but it wasn`t enough to secure a win for his team. The match highlighted the batting prowess of both sides, with Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne and Alex Carey anchoring the innings, while Travis Head and Glenn Maxwell provided significant contributions.

The pitch at Gaddafi Stadium favored batters, leading to high scores, although the absence of dew and potential rain posed challenges for the bowlers. England`s lineup included notable players like Joe Root and Jofra Archer, but they struggled to contain Australia’s batting firepower. This victory is particularly significant for Australia, given their depleted squad missing regular captain Pat Cummins and other star players.
