England batter Phil Salt has praised his teammates and management for their backing of him and giving him the needed clarity after his blistering 88 not out off just 41 balls helped the visitors chase down 170 against Pakistan in the sixth T20I.

"It's nice timing to do it when the series is in the balance so I'm very happy with the knock. I'm very grateful for the backing that I've got from my teammates and the management. It's very clear the way they want me to play. Definitely [my best T20I knock]," said Salt after the match ended.
