England batter Jos Buttler continued his poor form in the ongoing 2026 WT20 as he was dismissed for a duck against New Zealand in the Super 8 match. Buttler was dismissed for a two-ball duck as he edged Lockie Ferguson in the second over and it was a simple catch for the wicket-keeper. It has been a real struggle for the English wicket-keeper in this tournament. Coming into this WT20, Jos Buttler with more than 4000 runs in this format was the mainstay for this English side but it has been a poor start for him as he has failed in all the games. He got dismissed in a similar fashion against Nepal, in the last game and today against New Zealand with pacers dismissing him outside off.

Jos Buttler started this WT20 with a 26 against Nepal but since then he has been in very poor form. He scored 21 against West Indies in the second game and from there on he has struggled to get to double digits in the remaining games. His scores in this WT20 read 26,21,3,3,7,2 and 0. He has managed only 15 runs in his previous five matches and has looked completely out of form in this WT20.
England have already qualified for the semi-finals and they would be hoping that Jos Buttler can find his form and deliver for them in the crucial knockout games that are going to come. This could very well be the last WT20 for Jos Buttler and he would like to go out on a high and help England in the semi-final of the 2026 WT20 by getting a good score.
