In Shadab Khan news today, the Pakistan all-rounder has been named Player of the Week after an unbeaten century rescued his side in the fourth ODI of the Pakistan ODI Tri-Series in Lahore on Sunday 25 October. Chasing 242, Pakistan reached 243 for nine in 47.1 overs and beat England by one wicket, with 17 deliveries still unused.
Shadab finished 113 not out from 96 balls at a strike rate of 117.71, with 13 fours and five sixes. Eighty-two of those runs came from boundaries. England had posted 241 in 46.4 overs, a total built around a century from Ben Duckett.
How the chase nearly collapsed
Pakistan’s reply looked all but over when the hosts were reduced to 193 for nine after 40 overs. Forty-nine runs were still needed, and only fast bowler Haris Rauf remained with Shadab. One mistake would have ended the match.
Earlier, Shadab had to steady the innings while wickets kept falling. He reached fifty from 52 balls, with seven fours and one six, rebuilding rather than forcing the pace.
Last-wicket stand with Haris Rauf
Once the ninth wicket fell, Shadab changed gear. In the unbroken last-wicket partnership he scored 50 from 33 balls, mixing calculated aggression with careful strike management while Rauf held up an end. Shadab completed his hundred from 92 balls, with 12 fours and four sixes at that stage, then kept attacking until the target was cleared.
Their stand turned a likely defeat into a one-wicket win and one of the most dramatic results of the tournament. For readers tracking Shadab Khan news today, the innings stood out less for the raw total than for the situation: experience under pressure, reading when to absorb and when to hit.
What the innings showed
Shadab has long offered Pakistan value with leg-spin, fielding and lower-order batting. Against England he took full charge of an international chase—stabilising the middle, keeping up with the required rate, then managing a final-wicket finish. The performance underlined how composure and controlled aggression can rewrite a match when only one partner is left.
