England bounced off with a spectacular style to level the T20i series of three games against South Africa, registering a massive victory of 146 runs in the second game at Old Trafford, Manchester. The star of the night was Phil Salwhich produced a sensational century and, along with If the buttonrecorded his name in record books.
Phil Salt and Jos Buttler rewrite records
Winning the launch, South -Africa chose Bowl first, but the decision quickly retreated. The opening duo of England, Phil Salt and Jos Buttler, launched a relentless attraction to the protein bowls, competing until a century collaboration with them with the great Indians Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan. The two couples now have the record for most centuries (four) in T20 International.
The salt was the starting ceremony, which exploded 141 not out of only 60 balls, an entry full of 15 four and 8 Towering Sixes. It was an entry of raw power and precision, possibly one of the best for a batter from England from Clicet T20. Buttler, equally devastating, broke 83 balls of 30 balls, chopping the boundaries with 8 four and 7 six.
When Buttler left, England had already put south -Africa at the back. The contributions of Jacob Bethell (26 of 14 years) and Harry Brook (41 not out of 21) said that the impulse was never immersed. The hosts finally published a colossal 304/2 in 20 points, one of the highest total in T20i history.

The collapse of the Battle of South -Africa follows its bowling nightmare
The South Bowling Unit -Africa withstanding a strained evening. The Kagiso Rabada (0/70 in 4 points) and Marco Jansen (0/60 in 4 points) were destroyed by salt and sausage, granting almost 15 runs above. The young Lizaad Williams (0/62 in 3 points) also suffered at the hands of the first order of England.
The only bright place was from the left arm spinner Bjorn Fortuin, who claimed the only two doctors to fall as he granted 52 runs on his spell. But in general, the South attack -Africa had no answers to the fireworks of England.
Chasing a discouragement target of 305, South -Africa needed a strong start, but the bowls of England did not allow them to be established -ever. Captain Aiden Markram (41 of 20 years) sought to inject a boost with 4 six, while Donovan Ferreira (23 of 11) and Bjorn Fortuin (32 of 16 years) performed entertaining Cameos. However, none of the baptisms could remain enough time to build collaborations.
England bowls kept pressure on the inputs of the protein:
- Jofra Archer (25/03) showed his pace and control, dismissing key baptisms.
- Sam Curran (2/11) launched with discipline at PowerPlay.
- Liam Dawson (2/34) kept things in the middle.
- The part of the part timer (2/2 in 1) stunned everyone with a golden spell, kicking the tail.
The entrances to South Africa folded by 158 in 16.1 in England, giving England a victory of 146 runs.
Player of the game
There was no competition for the prize: Phil Salt’s explosive century was the final performance of the party. His aggressive game and his intentless intention marked the tone, leaving the protected protein.
