Phil Salt played a sizzling knock of 87 runs unbeaten as England thrashed West Indies by 8 wickets in their match of the Super Eight stage of the ongoing T20I World Cup on Thursday at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia. The massive batting blitz from Salt aided England in chasing down a target of 181 runs in just 17.3 overs. Phil Salt, in his 87* off 47, smacked three sixes and as many fours to set the tone for England’s strong start to the Super Eight stage.

Salt was well assisted by Jonny Bairstow, who contributed an unbeaten 48 runs, forging an unbroken 97-run partnership for the third wicket. West Indies bowlers, on the other hand, had no respite from the assertive batting attack from England.
