Their tournament got off to a thrilling start against England, where they chased down 352 – the highest-ever target at an ICC event.

In the first innings, Ben Dwarshuis, Adam Zampa and Marnus Labuschagne all collected multiple scalps, but Ben Duckett’s indomitable 165 powered England to 351/8 from their 50 overs.

Australia faltered early in the chase, before Matthew Short and Alex Carey steadied things with half-centuries. But the hero was Josh Inglis, whose game-changing 120* propelled the Aussies over the line in Lahore.
