ODI World Cup 2023: Flop XI of Fifth Week
Witnessing the cricketing action in the last seven days, it’s time to prepare the flop XI of the marquee tournament’s fifth week.
5. Jos Buttler (C) & (WK)
Jos Buttler is going through a dry run as he is consistently failing to produce solid knocks for his side in this World Cup. The England skipper has amassed only 111 runs in eight matches at a terrible average of 13.87. As a skipper, he has completely lacked confidence and the English team’s position on the points tally corroborates the fact.
England won their second match of the tournament in the fifth week, registering a humongous 160-run win over the Dutch team in Pune. Ben Stokes hit his maiden World Cup ton and received the Player of the Match award for guiding his team to the scintillating triumph.
Buttler threw his wicket on five in this game against Paul van Meekeren. Earlier in the week, the wicketkeeper batter flopped against the Aussies in Ahmedabad. England didn’t succeed in chasing the 287-run target and Buttler fell prey to Adam Zampa after scoring only one run.
