England captain Jos Buttler made a spectacular return to form during the 2024 T20 World Cup Super Eight match against the United States on Sunday, June 23, at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.
In a dominant display, Buttler’s blazing unbeaten knock of 83* off 38 balls guided England to a swift victory in just 9.4 overs after restricting USA to 115 all out. Nitish Kumar (30), Corey Anderson (29), and Harmeet Singh (21) contributed for the USA but were contained by England’s Chris Jordan (4/10) and Adil Rashid (2/13).
The highlight of the match came during England’s chase when Buttler unleashed a remarkable assault on left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh in the ninth over. Buttler smashed five consecutive sixes, showcasing his batting prowess and steering England close to victory in emphatic fashion.
Buttler’s onslaught not only sealed the match for England but also underscored his capability to single-handedly dismantle opposition bowling attacks in crucial encounters of the tournament. His performance was a testament to his skill and resilience as a leader in international T20 cricket.
