Nottinghamshire registered a victory by five wickets over Lancashire in their previous T20 Blast 2023 match on Sunday. Playing at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire bundled out Lancashire at 145 after Matthew Carter took a three-wicket haul. Later, the Steven Mullaney-led side chased the target with five wickets and seven balls in hand. It was a collective bowling effort from Nottinghamshire, which helped them clinch the win but one dismissal which definitely grabbed a lot of attention was that of Jos Buttler’s by Shaheen Afridi.
On the final ball of the fifth over of Lancashire’s innings, Buttler got completely bamboozled by the blistering pace of Shaheen and got clean bowled. The intensity of the delivery was such that off-stump went flying away. Buttler departed after scoring 23 runs.
