England maintained their chances of reaching the T20 World Cup playoffs after defeating New Zealand by 20 runs on Tuesday at The Gabba in Brisbane. England elected to bat first, and Buttler took the initiative, smashing a 47-ball 73 to help his team to a formidable 179/6 in 20 overs. In response, New Zealand managed only 159/6 in 20 overs. Glenn Phillips’ 36-ball 72 gave England pause as he and captain Kane Williamson shared a third-wicket partnership of 91 runs. Williamson scored 40 runs on the same number of balls. Buttler and opening partner Alex Hales scored 81 runs earlier in the day to give England a good start. He became stuck on 52. (40). Following Buttler’s deportation, Liam Livingstone also made a significant contribution by developing an important alliance with him. With this conclusion, the Group 1 table appears to be on fire right now.
