Despite poor fielding and shaky start while chasing the target of 190, Hales just stole the show that evening. He put up the partnership of 152 runs with Eoin Morgan who scored 57 off 38 balls for the third wicket after their 2 wickets were fallen on the score of 0 in the first over. His name appears 4 times in the top 8 scores for England T20I. This was also the highest T20 international chase ever by England. This game will also be remembered for a brilliant innings of 89 runs played by Lankan legend Mahela Jayawardene.
