Stokes was brilliant with his bat and played a pivotal role in England’s massive victory. Stokes scored 103 of 163 with six fours and three big sixes. England played with a new aggressive “Bazball” approach to batting. The English test captain has once again shown why he is regarded as the best all-rounder cricket player. Ben Stokes showed his class throughout the match both with his bowling and batting. While batting, one of his best moments came when he hit the six to reach his half-century. He played a lofted shot over the long-on for a solid six, landed right in England’s dressing room area.
