2- Duckett became only the second batter to register a 150+ score in a losing cause in ICC ODI events after Scotland's Kyle Coetzer, who made 156 against Bangladesh in Nelson in World Cup 2015. The previous highest in a defeat in Champions Trophy was 145 by Andy Flower against India at Colombo RPS in 2002.

77 balls by Josh Inglis to reach his maiden ODI century makes it the joint fastest in Champions Trophy alongside Virender Sehwag who made a 77-ball hundred against England at Colombo RPS in 2002. It is also the fastest for Australia against England in ODIs surpassing Adam Gilchrist's 81-ball century at the Oval in 2005.

4 - Inglis became the fourth Australian batter to register centuries across the three formats after Shane Watson, Glenn Maxwell, and David Warner.

146 - The fifth wicket stand of 146 between Inglis and Alex Carey is the second highest partnership for any wicket for Australia in Champions Trophy after the unbeaten 252-run second wicket stand between Watson and Ricky Ponting in the semifinal of the 2009 edition against England in Centurion.

2009 - The last time Australia won a game in Champions Trophy when they beat New Zealand in Centurion to successfully defend their title. They went winless in both 2013 and 2017 editions in England losing three while three others ended in no results.

16 sixes hit the match is the joint highest in a Champions Trophy contest equalling 16 in the tournament opener between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi. The previous most hit was 15 in the finals of the 2017 edition between Pakistan and India at the Oval in 2017.

707 - The combined aggregate of 707 runs in the match is the joint second highest in an ODI on Pakistan soil. The highest remains 709 between Pakistan (375/3) and Zimbabwe (334/5) in Lahore in 2015 while the Pakistan-South Africa contest two weeks ago in the tri-series in Karachi also produced 707 runs.
