However, it was Salt who truly set the stage ablaze, smashing an impressive 119 runs off just 57 deliveries. Salt\u2019s innings featured a remarkable tally of 7 fours and a staggering 10 sixes, leaving the West Indies bowlers struggling to contain the onslaught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supported by valuable contributions from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/crickettimes.com\/player\/105\/jos-buttler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jos Buttler<\/a>&nbsp;(55 runs),&nbsp;<strong>Liam Livingstone&nbsp;<\/strong>(54 runs), and others, England posted a challenging total of 267\/3 in their allotted 20 overs.

Despite the best efforts from some West Indies batters, England\u2019s bowlers, led by\u00a0<strong>Reece Topley<\/strong>\u2018s three-wicket haul, kept a tight grip on the proceedings. The West Indies eventually folded for 192 runs in 15.3 overs, giving England a resounding victory by 75 runs.\u00a0<strong>Sam Curran<\/strong>\u00a0(2\/25) and\u00a0<strong>Rehan Ahmed<\/strong>\u00a0(2\/42) also bagged two wickets each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salt\u2019s scintillating century not only played a pivotal role in England\u2019s triumph but also earned him the well-deserved Player of the Match accolade. His innings was a masterclass in aggressive yet calculated batting, showcasing his ability to take on the opposition bowlers with flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this win, England also leveled the series, making the upcoming decider on Thursday, December 21, at the Brian Lara Stadium, a highly anticipated clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"here-is-how-twitter-reacted\">Here is how Twitter reacted:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Stunning victory to level the series! \ud83e\udd81<br><br>Scorecard: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/C5Ns5auLYY\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/C5Ns5auLYY<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EnglandCricket?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#EnglandCricket<\/a> | \ud83c\udfdd\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WIvENG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#WIvENG<\/a> \ud83c\udff4\udb40\udc67\udb40\udc62\udb40\udc65\udb40\udc6e\udb40\udc67\udb40\udc7f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OXkPqGoA9r\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/OXkPqGoA9r<\/a><\/p>&mdash; England Cricket (@englandcricket) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/englandcricket\/status\/1737248248866259292?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">December 19, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">December 16th &#8211; Phil Salt scored 109*(56) in the 3rd T20I vs WI.<br><br>December 19th &#8211; Unsold in the auction.<br><br>December 20th &#8211; Phil Salt scored 119(57) in the 4th T20I vs WI. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kGB3Ipx7F0\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/kGB3Ipx7F0<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Johns.
