England's Phil Salt hit 119 from just 57 balls to help England beat the West Indies by 75 runs in the 4th T20I, at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy today.
Salt had hit an unbeaten ton in England's victory in Grenada on Saturday and carried on where he left off as he took the attack the hosts from the outset in emphatic fashion.
Salt put on 117 in the opening partnership with skipper Jos Buttler before the latter was removed for 55 when he was caught in the deep by West Indies captain Rovman Powell off Jason Holder.
Will Jacks helped maintain the momentum with 24 from nine balls as part of a rapid 56-run partnership and Liam Livingstone ensured the run-rate never faded with 54 from 21 balls.
Salt was finally bowled by Andre Russell in the penultimate over after striking ten sixes and seven fours in his entertaining innings.
England's tally was second-highest innings score in a match between full member nations.
In the run chase, the daunting target set by England proved too much for the West Indies batters, as they only managed 192. Andre Russell 51 top scored and Reece Topley 3/37 was the leading wicket taker for England
This victory for England sets up Thursday's match as the series decider.
