T20 World Cup: Jos Buttler out for duck vs New Zealand

England captain Jos Buttler’s struggles at the T20 World Cup have deepened after he was dismissed for a two-ball duck against New Zealand.

The wicketkeeper-batter was caught behind early in the Super 8s clash, extending a worrying sequence of low scores for the defending champions.

It marks the fifth consecutive innings in which the 33-year-old has failed to reach double figures with the bat.

A captain under pressure

Buttler looked on in disbelief as he edged the delivery, with his dismissal leaving England in a precarious position early in the innings.

Commentators described the current run of form as "miserable" as the white-ball skipper walked back to the pavilion without troubling the scorers.

The dismissal against the Black Caps adds further scrutiny surrounding his output at the top of the order during a crucial stage of the tournament.

England are looking to secure a vital victory to boost their hopes of reaching the semi-finals in the Caribbean.

However, the lack of runs from their experienced leader remains a significant concern for the management team.

Buttler will be hoping to turn his fortunes around quickly if England are to retain their global crown.
