Josh Inglis’s Heroics
Josh Inglis delivered a match-winning century in Australia’s Champions Trophy 2025 opener against England, he credited Steve Smith’s tactics. Choosing to bowl first on a pitch known for dew, Australia was set to chase down a massive total of 351/8 posted by England. Inglis, who scored an unbeaten 120 off 86 balls, played a crucial role in the chase, building valuable partnerships with Matt Short (63) and Alex Carey (69).
Even though Australia lost early wickets with Smith and Travis Head dismissed for single digits, Inglis’ calm and composed innings, alongside Carey’s support, ensured the chase stayed on track. Smith, who had anticipated the impact of dew, believed that restricting England to under 400 was a significant achievement.
The skidding pitch made batting easier in the later part of the match, and Australia capitalized on it. Inglis’ performance not only helped Australia complete the chase with 15 balls to spare but also made him the fourth Australian to score centuries across all formats of cricket. This century highlighted Inglis’ potential as a future star for Australia, solidifying his place as an essential asset for both formats moving forward.
