As Haris Rauf and Co took the game to the wire, Stokes kept his cool to see his team over the line. The 31-year-old showed nerves of steel to turn the tide, with a flurry of boundaries off Iftikhar Ahmed to seal the title.
Stokes’ effort comes three years after his heroic knock against NewZealand at Lord’s.

He followed it up with a boundary in the Super Over, which helped the Three Lions seal the win on boundary count.
