- 1st T20I: England, 183-2, bt West Indies, 182-9, by 8 wkts
- Phil Salt and Jacob Bethell seal victory with 19 balls spare
On Thursday, Phil Salt turned down an invitation to party with Rihanna in favour of an early night. On Saturday, his third T20I century blitzed England to an eight-wicket win against West Indies.
It’s a decision he may live to regret from a personal perspective, but not from a professional one, as he extended his remarkable T20 record against West Indies. In his last five matches against this opposition, he has made three centuries and scored 456 runs at an average of 228 and strike-rate of 193.
