🏏ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026:M15: Eng vs WI, Mumbai 🏏 - Page 8

Someone commented Salt replaced by betel (paan intended)! Terrible. Gerrof!

Saket: "With just the exposure of watching Indian cricket matches, it seemed like India are the tournament favourites, but looking at the main teams and the associate nations creating exciting moments in the games, it is not going to be so smooth for India " It's been compelling viewing so far, that's for sure

Shepherd removes Salt after quickfire 30

Romario Shepherd, West Indies' five-wicket star of their first match against Scotland, removes England opener Phil Salt after a fast start of 30 runs from 14 balls. Salt advances down the pitch but gets cramped up and fails to connect cleanly, picking out Sherfane Rutherford at cover.

I know this doesnt belong here but just want to share this hilarious short anyway....

Every team is playing so well..will India really defend its title god only knows with both abhishek and ishaan now injured

Sampath has a notable stat. "Before Adil Rashid today, only one bowler did not concede a boundary in his four overs in a men's T20I at Wankhede - Imran Tahir during England's 230-run chase in the 2016 T20 World Cup game." Hell of a game that... and a hell of a spell from Rashid. At the moment, it's looking like the difference between the teams. The ghosts of 2016 are everywhere this week!

Over highlights (1-6) - 67 runs | 1 wicket

- Salt starts the innings with a boundary

- Salt takes Holder apart in the second over - 6, 4, 4, 0, 6, 4

- Shepherd strikes in his first over, removing the dangerous Salt

- Akeal goes for 14 in his third over as Bethell hits three fours

- Shamar too does not make an impact, 9 runs in his first over

Drinks are on the field now. England off a flying start. Salt punished the bowlers from the outset. Shephered dismissed him, but since then Bethell has walked out and kept the scoreboard ticking. England need 130 runs in 84 balls.

Gudakesh Motie to Tom Banton, out Caught by Brandon King!! Caught at cover. Tom Banton goes for a low score yet again. It's tossed up full on middle, Banton gets forward to drive and doesn't keep it down. King moves to his right at cover and takes it on the reverse-cup. Motie leaps and punches the air in delight. That was hit half-heartedly. A hint of turn just before the ball met bat. West Indies right in this here. Tom Banton c Brandon King b Gudakesh Motie 2(4)
