ENG vs SA: England captain Jos Buttler was on fire behind the stumps as his side took on South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 round in St Lucia on Friday, June 21.

The star wicket-keeper played a big role in helping England pick two crucial wickets against South Africa. He first picked the stunning catch of Quinton de Kock - the highest run-scorer for South Africa in the match.

In the 12th over, Quinton de Kock tried cutting a delivery towards third man for a four but ended up just edging the ball in the process as Buttler made a full-fledged dive to his left to grab a one-handed stunner. Have a look.

Later in the 14th over of the South Africa batting innings, Mark Wood bowled a horrible wide ball on the leg side. As Buttler fumbled to collect the ball cleanly, Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller tried stealing a single.

Miller made his ground on the striker's end, but Klaasen was caught completely off-guard as a direct throw from Buttler found him well short of the crease. Have a look.

The two wickets took the momentum away from South Africa who had to settle for 163/6 despite an 86-run stand off just 59 deliveries. Opener Quinton de Kock smashed the joint-fastest fifty of the T20 World Cup 2024. He scored a total of 65 runs off 38 balls.

South Africa would have found themselves in further trouble if not for a crucial innings from David Miller. The experienced left-arm pacer scored 65 runs off 38 balls.
