England's swashbuckling keeper-batter Phil Salt had a forgettable outing against Afghanistan, as he was dismissed for a low score in the must-win clash in Lahore. Opening the batting for England, Salt managed only twelve runs before Omarzai cleaned him up with a ripper. 

Omarzai Roars After Cleaning Up Phil Salt

The incident occurred during the fourth over of England's innings when Salt was trying to ensure a solid start for his team with his opening partner Ben Duckett. Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi brought Omarzai into the attack and the move paid off instantly. 

The experienced all-rounder delivered an absolute ripper to breach through Salt's defence and send him packing. From over the wicket, Omarzai bowled a good-length ball, which jagged back slightly into Salt after pitching around the off and middle stump line. 

As Salt attempted a wild slog, the ball went straight through the gap between his bat and pad, uprooting the stumps. Thus, Salt, who was expected to give England a flying start, departed scoring only twelve runs. It's worth mentioning that Omarzai also contributed 41 crucial runs to Afghanistan's tally.

After Phil Salt's cheap dismissal, keeper-batter Jamie Smith joined the in-form Ben Duckett to steady the ship for the Englishmen. As of writing, England were 30 for one, with Smith and Duckett batting on 9* and 8*, respectively.
