Kane Williamson is Left Red-faced As New Zealand Keeps An Eye On The Irish

3 min read

Kane Williamson has revealed that it was embarrassing for him to have to call Jos Buttler back after a catch that he thought he had taken but was later found to be a costly dropped catch during the Twenty20 World Cup.

The captain of the New Zealand cricket team has a reputation for being a gentleman in the world of cricket.

Therefore, it came as a surprise when his extraordinary effort to ostensibly remove England’s captain Butler for just eight runs in the critical match that took place at the Gabba on Tuesday was overruled.

Williamson asserts that he, too, was taken aback by the turn of events, and that the captain apologized to Buttler by waving as Williamson walked back to the crease before taking full advantage of his second chance.

Williamson stated that he “bobbled it and believed I’d squeezed it into my chest” in reference to his diving effort while sprinting back from cover.

“A little bit awkward in the end, although it was always going to go upstairs (to be checked), so just one of those things,” she said.

Buttler was dropped for a second time on the score of 40 and was eventually run out for 73 runs off of just 47 balls before the end of the innings. His effort contributed to England’s match-winning score of 6-179.

Despite Williamson scoring 40 runs at a run per ball and Glenn Phillips contributing another strong effort, New Zealand was unable to reach their target by 20 runs (62 off 36).

After England’s victory, they moved into a tie for first place on the table with New Zealand and Australia with five points, and they also moved into second place on the net run rate, which put them in a position considerably ahead of the home team with just one game remaining.

Even though they are in a good position, New Zealand must still win their match against Ireland in Adelaide on Friday in order to ensure a spot in the final four.

Ireland defeated West Indies by a score of nine wickets, then stunned England, and finally, despite being 5-25, they lost by 42 runs, which harmed Australia’s net run rate.

Mitchell Santner, a spinner for the New Zealand cricket team, made the statement that “we’ve seen throughout this tournament that there’s been upsets.”

“The structure of Twenty20 cricket is such that if just one or two players stand up, they may completely change the course of a game.

“We’re still in a strong position, so we reflect and go on to Ireland on a different wicket, different environment, and they’ve proved that they’re a quality side, so we’ll need to be blazing on all cylinders.
