The Super 12, Group 1 match of the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup between England and Sri Lanka at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is underway with Sri Lanka winning the Toss and along expected lines decided to field first, in what is a do-or-die match for them.

England on the other hand are, for the first time batting first in this World  Cup and it would be interesting to see how they approach their game while defending a total, with the dew likely to make an appearance once again. They have chased in all the three matches they have won so far.

Nonetheless, this champion English side has yet again proved why they are arguably the best at the moment when it comes to White ball Cricket. And it is the flamboyant English wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler who rose on at the big occasion playing an outstanding knock of 101 off 67 deliveries.

Michael Vaughan heaps praise of Jos Buttler

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan was all in praise for his nation’s wicketkeeper batter and has in fact termed him as the best at the moment- the one who reads the conditions brilliantly and adapts accordingly.

Indeed Buttler single-handedly took his side to a respectable total of  163/4 in the alotted 20 Overs.It is worth noting that the England scorecard read 47/3 at the end of 10 Overs and run-scoring seemed to be a difficult task as has been the pattern throughout the tournament.

But, as Vaughan rightly stated, Buttler switched gears with consummate ease while respecting the conditions early on and made sure he also did not throw his bat wildly at anything out of frustration and scoreboard pressure. This was something that Indian batters the other day simply could not execute.
