Jos Buttler hit five consecutive sixes against Harmeet Singh during the Super Eight match between England and USA in Barbados on Sunday.

In doing so, he got his side 32 runs from the over, which was the joint-third most in an over in a T20 World Cup match. The over started with Phil Salt picking a single before Buttler smashed the left-arm spinner all over the park. Harmeet also bowled a wide in the over.

Buttler, unbeaten on 83 off 48 balls, and Phil Salt, 25 not out off 21, stayed at the crease to steer England to a 10-wicket win and helped the defending champion advance to the semifinals.
