Hafeez opened the bowling attack and snared two
crucial wickets in a final total of 245 for eight, later scoring a fine 75 in a
triumphant pursuit with two deliveries to spare.
His dismissals of the dangerous Shikhar Dhawan
and wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik were well complemented by a vigil that
spanned 117 deliveries and featured a trio of fours and twin sixes.
"The way we won that game was terrific. The
role given to me was that of a number three batsman. Things are working for me
and I am happy. Whenever there is a left-hander, the captain calls me to bowl
with the new ball," said Hafeez.
"I am happy to do it for Pakistan. We lost
four early wickets but we were looking to play normal cricket. I thank the
crowd and dedicate this win for the Pakistan people."
