Duckett's best lifts England to 386-5 in Sri Lanka dead rubber
Opener Ben Duckett smashed his highest score in one-day internationals to propel England to 386-5 in their dead rubber game against Sri Lanka in Lahore on Thursday.
The 32-year-old cracked 167 runs in 132 balls that included 24 boundaries to anchor the innings along with Tom Banton's 74 runs after England were put in to bat at a batting-friendly Gaddafi Stadium pitch.
England are already out of Saturday's final after losing all their three games, failing to defend a 430-run target against Sri Lanka and conceding 89 runs for the last wicket to Pakistan.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka will contest the final in Lahore.
Duckett, whose previous highest was 165 against Australia in the Champions Trophy at the same venue last year, put on 163 for the opening wicket with Banton.
Banton's 75-ball knock had two sixes and eight boundaries.
Duckett added another rapid 107 off just 75 balls for the second wicket with Harry Brook, with skipper Brook hitting two sixes and three fours in his 34-ball 44.
Duckett finally fell to a miscued scoop off Eshan Malinga in the 42nd over.
Jordan Cox, with 43 runs, Will Jacks' 30 and Sam Curran, who was 21 not out, helped England add 92 runs in the last ten overs.
Pacer Asitha Fernando chipped in with 2-63 but fellow pacer Malinga's only wicket cost 101 runs.
