Hafeez who has 54 T20I wickets under his belt, also became only the second Pakistan batsman and nineth in the world to reach 2,000 runs milestone.

Despite all-rounder's heroics with the bat, England won the match by five wickets after successfully chasing 196-run target, courtesy brilliant half-centuries by Dawid Malan and captain Eoin Morgan.
