Pakistan recently won the third T20I against hosts New Zealand to avoid a series sweep.
Once again, senior batsman, Mohammad Hafeez rose to the occasion.
Although the bulk of scoring was done by Mohammad Rizwan (89), a 29-ball 41 by Hafeez inspired Pakistan's emphatic run-chase.
As Hafeez finished the season strongly, we take a look at his T20I numbers in 2020.
