Bairstow breathed fire in the previous T20I as he hammered 86 runs off mere 60 balls and remained unbeaten to help post a mammoth total. His innings included four sixes and eight fours at a strike rate of 143.33. Considering his form, Bairstow will be eager to score big yet again in the forthcoming game.
