Inglis guides Australia to record chase victory over England

In a thrilling opener of the Champions Trophy, Josh Inglis led Australia to a record chase of 352 runs against England, scoring an unbeaten 120 off 86 balls. This remarkable performance not only marked his maiden ODI century but also secured a five-wicket victory, making it the highest chase in any ICC men's tournament history. Inglis formed a crucial partnership of 146 runs with Alex Carey, who contributed 69 runs, stabilizing the innings after a shaky start. Despite England's Ben Duckett setting a record with 165 runs, Australia's bowlers managed to restrict the target to a chaseable score. Steve Smith praised the team's effort, highlighting their ability to adapt and execute effective bowling strategies. Following this victory, Australia looks to build confidence as they prepare for their next match against South Africa.
