T20 World Cup 2024: Jos Buttler's mammoth 104m six breaks solar panel in Bridgetown,Barbados

England faced the United States of America in their final Super 8 clash at Bridgetown in Barbados. While chasing a low score of 116, skipper Jos Buttler hit a mammoth six, ultimately breaking the roof's solar panel. The maximum ended up being one of the biggest sixes of the tournament as it scaled a distance of 106 metres. 

The England captain showed no mercy to Saurabh Netravalkar, one of the tournament stars thus far. The USA bowler was one of their highest wicket-takers in this tournament but was dispatched by the opposition skipper during the fourth ball of the third over. The right-handed batter also smashed another maximum on the next delivery, indicating the intent with which his side wanted to finish the match.

The England skipper has been in terrific form, especially against the USA where he smashed five sixes in a row. He scored 83* runs off just 38 balls with a strike rate of 218.42 against the USA in Super Eight of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024.
