After the series tied at 1-1, South Africa and England played the third T20I on Sunday to win the series. While England lost the first game by a whisker, South Africa lost the second game by mere two runs. While many players of both teams have been doing well in the games, England opener Jos Buttler has failed to live up the expectations.

Moreover, he had a poor run during the Test series as well and captain Eoin Morgan was asked if Buttler could be sent lower down the order for the final game of the series. But the captain stood by his teammate and said that there would be no change in his batting position for the series decider. And, here is the result. Buttler scored a 29-ball 57 in the series decider with 9 fours and 2 towering sixes.

“Not for Sunday, definitely not. Jos is one of our greatest white-ball cricketers, as a batsman, never mind with the gloves. We believe him, Jason (Roy) and Jonny (Bairstow) are our top three at the moment, moving forward,” he said.

All-rounder Moeen Ali, who hit an 11-ball 39 in the second T20I, did mention that there could be a change in the order as they are preparing for the World T20.

“The lucky thing is that we can change it and we’d be just as strong or even stronger. Jos is brilliant at No. 5 but he’s also brilliant when he opens. So sometimes when he bats at five and plays the way he does, people say he could open and bat like that and bat for longer. Jos is one of our best finishers, but as a 5, 6, 7, 8 we have to get better as well. We can’t just rely on him. If he comes off at the top, we win the game in 10 overs,” he said.

However, England registered a convincing win in the final game and won the series as well.
