Phil Salt made the difference as England chased down 197 in their first T20 against Ireland, handing Jacob Bethell a winning start to his record-breaking captaincy.
Bethell, who at 21 became the youngest man to lead England in an international, owed a four-wicket victory to Salt’s top-order fireworks in Malahide.
