The ODI Tri-Series match witnessed one of the most unbelievable finishes, as England players celebrated what they thought was a victory before Pakistan turned the game around in sensational fashion.

However, a controversial dismissal in the 45th over created a shocking situation that made the match unforgettable for both the players and fans at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Actually, Shadab Khan was batting on 97 when England fast bowler Gus Atkinson trapped him in front of the wickets.

The umpire immediately raised his finger, giving the Pakistan all-rounder out leg before wicket (LBW). England believed they had won the match by 20 runs, and the television broadcast briefly displayed England as the winners.

The England players started celebrating their victory, while several players, including Joe Root and captain Harry Brook, approached a disappointed Shadab to shake hands.

Meanwhile, Shadad was named Player of the Match for his heroics against England in Lahore. The all-rounder said that his brilliant innings felt more special because Pakistan won the match, and he praised Haris Rauf for his crucial support during their match-winning partnership.

Shadab Khan said, as quoted by Cricbuzz, “Obviously, you only enjoy an innings when the team wins. So, I'm very happy that I played that inning and we won the match. I think Haris deserves more credit than me because, obviously, tailenders at that position are always keen to hit sixes. The way I was guiding him, or he was guiding me, we managed to put together a good partnership.”
