Whereas, Sarfraz Ahmed’s 38 runs and Nawaz Ahmed’s 34 were other two notable innings.
England piled up 444 runs, the highest ever total in the history of One-day cricket. A lot of records were smashed in the ODI as Alex Hales (171) became the highest individual scorer for England with his knock. Well, Jos Buttler scored the fastest fifty by an England batsman.
Alex Hales was chosen man of the match for his brilliant knock of 171 runs.
