Gros Islet (Saint Lucia), June 20 (Ozi news desk): Phil Salt showcased an aggressive and dominant performance by scoring an unbeaten 87 runs as England kicked off their T20 World Cup Super Eight campaign with a convincing eight-wicket victory over the West Indies.
Despite the West Indies putting up a competitive total of 180 for four, England chased it down comfortably, reaching 181 for two in just 17.3 overs during their Group 2 encounter. Salt’s explosive innings, which included seven boundaries and five sixes off just 47 deliveries, set the tone for England’s successful run chase, with Jonny Bairstow’s unbeaten 48 providing valuable support.
