Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AAMIR SOHAIL and Inzamam-ul- Haq shared a one-day world record partnership of 263 yesterday as Pakistan beat New Zealand by 62 runs to reach tomorrow's Australasia Cup final against India.
Sohail made 134 and Inzamam an undefeated 137 in Pakistan's total of 328 for 2 off their 50 overs. Inzamam and Sohail savaged the New Zealand attack, bringing up the 100 in 15.1 overs, 200 in 34.2 overs and 300 in 46.4 overs. They then restricted New Zealand, for whom Adam Parore and Shane Thompson shared a 133-run stand, to 266 for 7.
Pakistan's second-wicket stand beat the previous record of 224 between the Australians, Dean Jones and Allan Border, against Sri Lanka in Adelaide in 1984-85.
