Jos Buttler achieves a significant milestone by reaching 3000 T20 International runs, leading England to a competitive total against Pakistan in a thrilling match in Birmingham.

In a recent T20 International match held in Birmingham, England, the England cricket team's captain, Jos Buttler, achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the ninth player in history to reach 3000 runs in T20 Internationals. This feat places him among the elite company of renowned batters such as Virat Kohli, Babar Azam, Rohit Sharma, and David Warner.

Buttler reached this significant milestone during the 17th over of England's innings with a single off Mohammad Amir. He went on to score a brilliant 84 runs off 51 balls, including eight fours and three sixes, showcasing his exceptional batting prowess.

England, batting first, managed to post a competitive total of 183/7, largely thanks to Buttler's stellar performance. Despite a slow start, Buttler formed crucial partnerships with Will Jacks and Jonny Bairstow, guiding England to a strong position. However, Pakistan's bowlers, led by Shaheen Shah Afridi with three wickets, along with contributions from Imad Wasim and Haris, put up a strong bowling display to contain England and prevent them from reaching the 200-run mark.

The England team lineup for the match included Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Chris Jordan, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, and Reece Topley.
