England scored 267 for three in their 20 overs at the Brian Lara Academy, led by Salt’s aggressive play and half-centuries from skipper Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone. This was the second-highest innings score in a match between full member nations. Despite West Indies making a fast start, they lost wickets quickly and were bowled out for 192 in 15.3 overs.

Salt, who had an unbeaten ton in the previous game, continued his impressive form, contributing to the opening partnership of 117 with skipper Jos Buttler. Buttler scored 55 before being caught by West Indies captain Rovman Powell off Jason Holder. Will Jacks and Liam Livingstone further maintained the momentum with quick partnerships.

Salt, who hit ten sixes and seven fours, was finally bowled by Andre Russell in the penultimate over. In the West Indies reply, Brandon King was removed with the first ball, and despite Nicholas Pooran’s quick 20, wickets kept falling. Andre Russell’s powerful 51 off 25 balls included five sixes, but England secured the win when Russell was caught by Harry Brook off Topley.
