England etched their name in the record books by becoming only the third team in international cricket to breach the 300-run mark in T20Is. In the second T20I against South Africa at Old Trafford,

Harry Brook’s men posted a mammoth 304/2 in 20 overs, sending the Manchester crowd into raptures.

Leading the charge was Phil Salt, who hammered an unbeaten 141 off just 60 balls, including a flurry of fours and sixes. He was well supported by captain Jos Buttler (83 off 30), Jacob Bethel (26), and Harry Brook himself (41*). The Proteas bowlers were left clueless as England unleashed a relentless batting onslaught.

While Zimbabwe (344/4 vs Gambia) and Nepal (314/3 vs Mongolia) hold the top two spots in highest T20I totals, this was the first time the 300-run barrier was crossed in a T20I featuring two full-member nations.
